Watch how your mind judges. Judgment comes, in part, out of your own fear. You judge other people because you're not comfortable in your own being. By judging, you find out where you stand in relation to other people. The judging mind is very divisive. It separates. Separation closes your heart. If you close your heart to someone, you are perpetuating your suffering and theirs. Shifting out of judgment means learning to appreciate your predicament and their predicament with an open heart instead of judging. Then you can allow yourself and others to just be, without separation.
Ram DassThe soul is not part of the incarnation. It comes into the incarnation. And the soul is not afraid of death because it has done it so many times.
Ram DassThe reality we live in is selected by our conceptual definitions. You and I may be in the same physical space, but each of us will see it as entirely different.
Ram DassBirth, death, and suffering all bring us to the very edge of what our minds can understand.
