thanks for the inspiration. deeply appreciated
I’d love to comment but then I’d be doing something…. Oh crap, too late 😢
A year ago I was sober and studying ram dass and practicing mindfulness and compassion.. today I am lost, angry, confused drinking again… I hope I can find my way back.. namaste
This is another brilliant talk. Ive listened three times already. I feel Ram Dass is here with me. I love him deeply and am so grateful that he completed his Dharma. That he shared his experiences with the world in a way that is just what Ram Dass does, with heart, humor and compassion. ❤ His blend of psychology and spirituality is so available. I feel he is a universal teacher. He inspireds me to continue, to be better – and to just BE 🥰 🙏🏼 Ram Ram 🦋
