Ram Dass quotes

“The heart surrenders everything to the moment. The mind judges and holds back.”


“The most important aspect of love is not in giving or the receiving: it's in the being. When I need love from others, or need to give love to others, I'm caught in an unstable situation. Being in love, rather than giving or taking love, is the only thing that provides stability. Being in love means seeing the Beloved all around me.”



“Suffering is part of our training program for becoming wise.”



“We are all affecting the world every moment, whether we mean to or not. Our actions and states of mind matter, because we are so deeply interconnected with one another.”



“Everything in your life is there as a vehicle for your transformation.
Use it!”


“The question we need to ask ourselves is whether there is any place we can stand in ourselves where we can look at all that's happening around us without freaking out, where we can be quiet enough to hear our predicament, and where we can begin to find ways of acting that are at least not contributing to further destabilization.”


“As one individual changes, the system changes.”
