An exploration of the basic questions for anyone attempting to do business in a conscious way. Is it possible to do business, make a profit, act in truth and integrity and be of genuine service all at once? In his presentation Ram Dass depthfully sheds light and answers questions on such topics as: role-entrapment, the “inner-game” of business, personal power, obsessions with “success”, alienation, deepening the “bottom line,” collaboration and competition, going beyond ego, the downsides of being successful, stress, change, and fear. A useful and heartful tool to anyone “doing business” in the world. (LA,CA – 1/30/1987)

Amazing.
Wonderful lecture!
This is an extraordinarily loaded talk by Dharmic Dick. I listen to Baba Ram frequently…he nearly always helps me see straight again and let go of the mask for a bit. If anyone is new to his beautifully clear, compassionate take on the game, there is so much to discover in this one talk. Thanks for posting this. You could listen to this 12 times consecutively and you'd pull a fresh troy ounce of guru gold out each time. Thanks be to the formless for communicating through such an awakened vessel.
Thenk You for Your beautiful comment
So you graduate, enter the world, and go as hard as you can, win, carve out a little place for yourself, and then gradually your priorities change, and you do less, relax more, and enjoy your success. All along you have to have a life apart from career and doing, otherwise you're sure to burn out. Writing this on this page with all this purpose seems kind of ridiculous to me, but as a doer, I feel I need to share my perspective.
I had always thought that if reincarnation were a reality that we may have started as a blade of grass (pre-school), then graduated to a tree (grade school)…then a bug (junior high)…then an animal (college)…and finally we made it to the top form…a human. After listening to this lecture, now I'm thinking I got it all backwards…that if reincarnation were a reality that the blades grass are the souls who attained the "Master's Degree" of incarnations.
