Ram DassSo somebody comes along and gets to me. They get me angry or uptight or they awaken some desire in me, wow am I delighted. They got me. And thatโs my work on myself. If I am angry with you because your behavior doesnโt fill my model of how you should be, thatโs my problem for having models. No expectations, no upset. If you are a liar and a cheat, thatโs your Karma. If Iโm cheated, thatโs my work on myself.
