    NOTE: This is the full broadcast portion of the interview. It was continued in-studio with an additional 58-minute discussion which is available here: • Ram Dass (1931-2019): ...
    Ram Dass probes deeply into the nature of helping relationships. He suggests that when we see deeply into each human being, no matter how desperate the situation, we are able to honor and learn from them. If we view ourselves as the "helper," we become trapped in the prison of our own self-image -- and this interferes with genuine compassion.
    Ram Dass' own path led him to look for God in every person and situation. Following this path, his life of service included working with refugees, with the blind, and with the dying. In this moving, two-part program, he examines the delicate state of awareness in which one acts compassionately for social change while also accepting the world exactly as it is.

    Yes, it's really a paradox. I went through a period of very great danger to my life, back in the 1990s, and I managed the situation in making myself a total servant to the universe, and other people around me. I abandoned all fight, while I was treated by some people very unjustly, I did not complain.
    Instead, I was studying both Christian and Buddhist writings and learnt that the personal ego is not in control of our real good life. When we practice wu wei, nonaction, for a certain time, there are connections with people to come about, and suddenly we feel we can help others who are much worse off than ourselves. And then, not resisting, but doing the work that the universe wants us to do, in helping others around us, a new energy comes up, and a silent transformation takes place that is really miraculous.
    I believe the universe is benevolent ... yes. I experienced it many times.

    @Adipsia1 10 лет назад +37

    Beyond the intellect and into the sublime. Ram Dass is relaxed, trusting and deeply in the moment, his answers are deep but seem very authentic to me. Jeffrey Mishlove does a great job too in pushing the boundaries of someone who is off the page, both intellectually and spiritually.

      Peter Marshall I feel compelled to watch this video every few months. At a higher-level I connected with this the first time that I watched it and that was it for me. But on a lower-level I feel the conscious need to watch it again every few months, and re-connect... and then I realise how much I've forgotten in the meantime. If only I could have all of this wisdom at the forefront of my consciousness each day. Though sadly I can't.

    • @BoredOnApiano
      @BoredOnApiano 7 лет назад +2

      Don't do anything if you don't want to. As Dass says himself, all methods are a trap (which we use to set ourselves free.) But at the heart of it, we are already free! Trust the process, simply allow your heart to open, and it shall.
      Namaste brother.

    In dzogchen the highest teaching from tibet we say do not accept or reject anything. Leave things as they are As it is. this maintains a high degree of awarness and clarity of perception. j krishnamurti says:: seeing, just see it as it is. in this non action of seeing all qualities will arise spontanously from moment to moment and will appear as action but without a doer doing anything.
    Accepting everything as it is still a condition in the mind a subtle clinging a computer program of the brain. This will lead to problems because everyone can not afford to maintain this mental attitude/setting at all times.
