Ram Dass Love Serve Remember

“Although I went through a major personal transformation, this is not right for everyone, nor is it necessary. Take your life exactly as it is in this moment. It is a fallacy to think that you’re going to get closer to God by changing the form of your life, by leaving your partner or changing your job, or moving or whatever…. by giving up your material possessions or growing your hair, or cutting off your
hair, or growing a beard….It is not the form, it is the nature of the being that fulfills the form. If you’re a lawyer you can
continue being a lawyer. Just use being a lawyer as a way of coming to God. One form is not necessarily more spiritual than another. In working on the nature of your being, quieting the mind and opening the heart are essential to developing a spiritual consciousness.” ~Ram Dass http://on.fb.me/PFBJdm

About

Ram Dass, one of America’s most beloved spiritual figures, has made his mark on the world by teaching the path of the heart and promoting service in the areas of social consciousness and care for the dying. Ram Dass first went to India in 1967. He was still Dr. Richard Alpert, an eminent Harvard psychologist and psychedelic pioneer with Dr.Timothy Leary. In India, he met his guru, Neem Karoli Baba, affectionately known as Maharajji, who gave Ram Dass his name, which means “servant of God.”

On his return from India Ram Dass became a pivotal influence in our culture with the publication of “Be Here Now”. In fact those words have become a catch phrase in people’s lives for the last 40 years. With the publication in 2011 of “Be Love Now” Ram Dass completes his trilogy that began with “Be Here Now” in 1970 and continued with “Still Here” in 2004.

Ram Dass’ spirit has been a guiding light for four generations, carrying along millions on the journey, helping free them from their bonds as he has worked his way through his own. He now makes his home in Maui and teaches world wide through his website RamDass.org and he also continues the work of Neem Karoli Baba through his Love Serve Remember Foundation.
