Perspectives on Work
This week’s episode of Here and Now is a recording from a Q&A session in 1989. Ram Dass begins by offering his perspective on how we can bring a spiritual mindset to the workplace by seeing through the veil of role and personality. He talks about answering life’s big questions and how, from a spiritual point of view, we’ll grow from any decision we make.
“For most of us, if you have your choice, take a job that optimizes your chance to be around conscious beings. It’s the same thing with a marriage; if you have a choice, marry a conscious being. If you don’t have a choice, you do what you can with what you’ve got.” - Ram Dass
(25:52) - Understanding Money
Ram Dass answers questions about cultivating a healthy approach to money and having blessings bestowed on us by the universe. He explores how the concept of ‘more is better’ is a sickness in our culture, and talks about viewing money from a new perspective. He tells stories of Sai Baba and Ramana Maharshi, which make one wonder who’s really running this show.
“Maharajji said to me once, ‘All the money in the world is mine.’ Now is that total psychosis? Sounds like it, doesn’t it? Or is it? Or is there some other way of understanding money, in which you see it as just this kind of play energy, like Monopoly money? You play with it.” - Ram Dass
(40:43) - The Illusion of Decision
Ram Dass and a young man from the audience have a back-and-forth dialogue about dealing with money from a spiritual point of view, and the trap of feeling like something always needs to be accomplished. Ram Dass talks about the illusion of decision and touches on faith in the spiritual dimension.
“We in the West are always trying to parlay ‘this’ into ‘that,’ but ultimately that is one that keeps feeding the sense of continuity of ego, of somebody going somewhere. So part of it is facing the fact that there’s nothing to do, this whole thing is a complete hype.” - Ram Dass

18:02 Ram Dass starts talking
Gracias 😊
Thanks very much.
Thanks
Thanks
Gracias!!! :D
This is the only one that I have found that he was so brutally honest about our free choice being an illusion. We aren’t doing it, it’s all law unfolding like an algorithm. Makes me feel like a computer program but he teaches us to have humor and not take it all so seriously. I love this man
Pure gold. Ram Dass’ words are pure gold.
Ram Das was so lucky to have Maharaj ji as a living guru and his whole life just changed.
Missed Guru Ram dass 🙏
Pray will meet him in some plain of his choice ,, 🙏
Thenk you for this
as your faith gets stronger you want less and less
Faith in what/a process? Sincere question im a bit confused
Nvm I get it, as you experience and see your faith work your content in just Being and no longer eternally wanting things once you get
This hit so bright for me too- had to stop listening and take a break and let it set in.
Thank you so much 💓
Love Raghus introducrion as well, its bit long but has some nice insight.
This is such a gem. Thank you! Is there part 2... where we continues to address the last person when he's less tired?
18:02....As I continue to grow spiritually, I have accepted that Marcus will continue to try and charge an entry fee. Luckily, most of us are well versed in fence hoping from youth. Im sure there is a reason, could be money or more ego. Both are things I have struggled to understand and have kept me from achieving greater love and awareness.
It only makes sense to charge. Podcasts, courses and websites cost money. It’s an energy exchange. They work hard to bring this to us and to tell them they don’t deserve to have anything in return is disrespectful and unrealistic. Time is our single greatest commodity and to ask someone to take all the time that they do making these talks and courses and then give it all for nothing is lacking a huge view on what it takes to make this resource available in the first place.
I love hearing tired Ram Dass!
❤️I do, too
💜
Thanks for this!!!

Thank you!!!

come back to 40:44
Man I love ram dass, but I hate how much you ramble before he speaks.
Skip the first 18 minutes 😂
I started this podcast (all episodes are on Amazon Music) feeling the same way. Then it grew on me because it gives context and makes it relatable. The host is just a regular guy to me, although I'm sure members of Dass' origi al part probably knew him well, and so it brings it down to earth for normal people.
Keep in mind we may not even be hearing this right now if it weren’t for the passion, dedication, curation, and utter devotion of people like Ragu.
My friend, Markus has first hand experience with Neem Karoli Baba. He was right there with Ram Dass when they went on their journey in the 60s and 70s. Even if Markus hadn't done any of that, he is still a human being who has lived his own unique life, and you can learn something from everyone
🎆✨🎇
