Our episode is from a Q&A session during a talk in Oklahoma City in May of 1990.
Ram Dass begins by addressing questions about Hatha yoga, the concept of eternity, and where we can start when it comes to service. He talks about listening inwardly to hear the unique part we can play.
Next up, Ram Dass explores dealing with alcoholism, cultivating qualities such as compassion and sympathetic joy, the concept of karma and our unique karmic predicaments, and experiencing the feeling of coming home into the harmony of all things.
Finally, Ram Dass talks about some of the figures he admires, cultivating the intuitive heart, and how to deal with the seductive appeal of intensity. What we can do is cultivate the quality of the Witness within ourselves that notices when we get taken and lost in the drama of life.

“I’ll tell you, I experience that as I keep opening my heart and accept my part in the sea of humanity, in the process of it, and start to allow that quality of compassion to come forth, I experience the feeling of coming home. I feel like I come home into family, I come home into place, I come home into the harmony of things. I think that the conditions are available for us to feel that feeling. I think as each individual feels it, then they become an instrument through which others feel it. I think it is a heart-to-heart process of coming home into that feeling of being at home.” – Ram Dass

I so appreciate the content this Network iffers. I value and appreciate it. I do not understand why there has to be an explanation or description of what Ram Dass is saying in his presentation or discussion when Ram Dass is saying it! Is the expectation that the listener won't be able to get what Ram Dass is saying in his talk?
Your right earphone is working. The video was uploaded in mono sound. 😁
Thank you Raghu for presenting this!
I can only hear this out of one headphone.
Can YOU not listen to the audio or do YOU not want to?
I’ve just realize Ram das and other people of his vain of that era are like my disembodied friends. I don’t come to them for advice anymore because I see now that language is just a totem for what you are and no words could ever create the true experience of life I live, for good or for worse.
When i flip my screen it changes the sound lol
Everyday since I found you, 3 years ago. Not a day has went by when I haven't listened to your wisdom. Over and over again on repeat. If I've heard it before….great. I'll hear and learn things I've missed. Inshallah 🙏❤️
Can’t listen with headphones due to the audio 😔
Watching now❤
There is only audio on the left side. It doesn’t work on headphones
Hey team- it seems it exported in mono, only left stereo sound. Just a heads up! Ram ram:)
