There is message to the community that a non-governmental process is underway to bring about social change, it's a public one, and people like Margaret Thatcher, George Bush, and Mikhail Gorbachev are throwing their weight behind it. In a world where there's a lot of cynicism and despair, this has a candle-lighting effect.
Ram DassAllowing dying to be so intensely present enriches both the preciousness of each moment and our detachment from it.
Ram DassI hang out with my guru in my heart. And I love everything in the universe. That's all I do all day.
Ram DassWhen the faith is strong enough, it is sufficient just to be. Its a journey towards simplicity, towards quietness, towards a kind of joy that is not in time. Its a journey that has taken us from primary identification with our body and our psyche, on to an identification with God, and ultimately beyond identification.
