“We're all just walking each other home.”
Ram Dass

“The quieter you become, the more you can hear.”
Ram Dass

“We're fascinated by the words--but where we meet is in the silence behind them.”
ram dass

“It is important to expect nothing, to take every experience, including the negative ones, as merely steps on the path, and to proceed.”
Ram Dass

“The most exquisite paradox… as soon as you give it all up, you can have it all. As long as you want power, you can't have it. The minute you don't want power, you'll have more than you ever dreamed possible.”
ram dass

“I would like my life to be a statement of love and compassion--and where it isn't, that's where my work lies.”
ram dass

“In most of our human relationships, we spend much of our time reassuring one another that our costumes of identity are on straight.”
ram dass

“The heart surrenders everything to the moment. The mind judges and holds back.”
ram dass

“Treat everyone you meet like God in drag.”
Ram Dass

“Your problem is you are too busy holding on to your unworthiness.”
ram dass

“As long as you have certain desires about how it ought to be you can't see how it is.”
ram dass

“The most important aspect of love is not in giving or the receiving: it's in the being. When I need love from others, or need to give love to others, I'm caught in an unstable situation. Being in love, rather than giving or taking love, is the only thing that provides stability. Being in love means seeing the Beloved all around me.”
ram dass

“Suffering is part of our training program for becoming wise.”
ram dass

“What you meet in another being is the projection of your own level of evolution.”
Ram Dass

“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.”
Ram Dass

“Everything changes once we identify with being the witness to the story, instead of the actor in it.”
ram dass

“Only that in you which is me can hear what I'm saying.”
ram dass

“We are all affecting the world every moment, whether we mean to or not. Our actions and states of mind matter, because we are so deeply interconnected with one another.”
ram dass

“Let's trade in all our judging for appreciating. Let's lay down our righteousness and just be together.”
ram dass

“A feeling of aversion or attachment toward something is your clue that there's work to be done.”
ram dass

“The next message you need is always right where you are.”
ram dass

“When you go out into the woods, and you look at trees, you see all these different trees. And some of them are bent, and some of them are straight, and some of them are evergreens, and some of them are whatever. And you look at the tree and you allow it. You see why it is the way it is. You sort of understand that it didn’t get enough light, and so it turned that way. And you don’t get all emotional about it. You just allow it. You appreciate the tree.

The minute you get near humans, you lose all that. And you are constantly saying ‘You are too this, or I’m too this.’ That judgment mind comes in. And so I practice turning people into trees. Which means appreciating them just the way they are.”
Ram Dass

“I would say that the thrust of my life has been initially about getting free, and then realizing that my freedom is not independent of everybody else. Then I am arriving at that circle where one works on oneself as a gift to other people so that one doesn't create more suffering. I help people as a work on myself and I work on myself to help people.”
ram dass

“I can do nothing for you but work on myself...you can do nothing for me but work on yourself!”
Ram Dass, Be Here Now

“The game is not about becoming somebody, it's about becoming nobody.”
Ram Dass

“Every religion is the product of the conceptual mind attempting to describe the mystery.”
ram dass

“I'm not interested in being a "lover." I'm interested in only being love.”
ram dass

“Learn to watch your drama unfold while at the same time knowing you are more than your drama.”
ram dass

“If you think you're free, there's no escape possible.”
Ram Dass, Be Here Now

Ram dass be here now quotes

What is the meaning of Be Here Now?

Meaning #1: Be In the Present Moment The phrase is most commonly understood to mean that you should be focused on the present. This means you are not ruminating about the past or worrying about the future.

Who said just Be Here Now?

Ram Dass, who in the 1960s joined Timothy Leary in promoting psychedelic drugs as the path to inner enlightenment before undergoing a spiritual rebirth he spelled out in the influential book Be Here Now, died at home on Sunday.

What is the message of Be Here Now?

As the title suggests, the essence of Be Here Now is that we're missing out on life if we're living in our heads rather than connecting with the immediacy of being alive. Spiritual practices are necessary to bring us back to the vivid present moment.

Where does Be Here Now come from?

Be Here Now, or Remember, Be Here Now, is a 1971 book on spirituality, yoga, and meditation by the American yogi and spiritual teacher Ram Dass (born Richard Alpert).
