Ram Dass: Citáty anglicky

“As far as I'm concerned we are all God
That's the difference
If you really think another guy is God he doesn't lock you up Funny about that.”

Ram Dass kniha Be Here Now

Contrasting the attitude of those who believe that they are especially "divine" and thus believe other people "owe" them deference — and those who assert all are divine, and thus are respectful of others proper rights and dignity as both human and divine beings.
Be Here Now (1971)

“To him who has had the experience no explanation is necessary, to him who has not, none is possible.”

Be Here Now (1971)
Kontext: I'd get to a point with my colleagues when I couldn't explain any further, because it came down to "To him who has had the experience no explanation is necessary, to him who has not, none is possible.".

“It was all my identities, all rolling in over me.”

Ram Dass kniha Be Here Now

Be Here Now (1971)
Kontext: I recall starting to "come down" and this huge red wave rolled in across the room. … It was all my identities, all rolling in over me. I remember holding up my hand and saying, "NO, NO, I don't want to go back." It was like this heavy burden I was going to take on myself. And I realized I didn't have the key — I didn't know the magic words, like "Abracadabra" or "Hocus Pocus" or whatever it was going to be that would stop that wave.

“It takes a while to realize that God can empty garbage.”

Ram Dass kniha Be Here Now

Be Here Now (1971)
Kontext: If you see yourself as God and then you come back from this state and somebody says, "Hey, Sam, empty the garbage!" it catches you back into the model of "I'm Sam who empties the garbage." You can't maintain these new kinds of structures. It takes a while to realize that God can empty garbage.

“But two or three days later I was talking about the whole thing in the past tense.”

Ram Dass kniha Be Here Now

Be Here Now (1971)
Kontext: I thought at that moment, "Wow, I've got it made. I'm just a new beautiful being — I'm just an inner self — all I'll ever need to do is look inside and I'll know what to do and I can always trust it, and here I'll be forever."
But two or three days later I was talking about the whole thing in the past tense. I was talking about how I "experienced" this thing, because I was back being that anxiety-neurotic, in a slightly milder form, but still, my old personality was sneaking back up on me.
