Quotes by Ram Dass

"The World is perfect as it is, including my desire to change it"

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

The spiritual journey is individual, highly personal. It can't be organized or regulated. It isn't true that everyone should follow one path. Listen to your own truth.

"If you think you're enlightened go spend a week with your family."

"I am not this body. I am in this body, and this is part of my incarnation and I honor it but that isn't who I am." Ram Dass, in a conversaton on Experience

Be patient. You'll know when it's time for you to wake up and move ahead.

If you think you are truly enlightened, go spend a weekend with your parents.

Only that in you which is me can hear what I'm saying

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.

Our whole spiritual transformation brings us to the point where we realize that in our own being, we are enough.
