 Neem Karoli Baba  Ram Dass | Happy Monday beautiful loves! As I was reflecting on this brand new day, I found myself drawn to the devotional bond between Ram Dass, a Harvard trained social scientist and Indian saint, Maharaja-ji (Neem Karoli Baba). Maharaj-ji (translated to mean "great king.") became Ram Dass's guru. Their gorgeous relationship broke the bonds of any human form and surpassed into the notion that 'We are all loving awareness.' From this space we are able to sit in the presence of love and realize that it is eternally who we are! May love inspire you on this day and every day hereafter. Seek to know yourself in the spaciousness of loving awareness. May You Sweetly Seek:) In Gratitude, Sarah |
An excerpt from BE LOVE NOW by Ram Dass:
One of the other Westerners with Maharaj-ji, Larry Brilliant, said:
“How do I explain who Maharaj-ji was and how he did what he did? I don’t have any explanation. Maybe it was his love of God. I can’t explain who he was. I can almost begin to understand how he loved everybody. I mean, that was his job, he was a saint. Saints are supposed to love everybody. But that’s not what always staggered me, not that he loved everybody—but that when I was sitting in front of him I loved everybody. That was the hardest thing for me to understand, how he could so totally transform the spirit of people who were with him and bring out not just the best in us, but something that wasn’t even in us, that we didn’t know. I don’t think any of us were ever as good or as pure or as loving in our whole lives as we were when we were sitting in front of him.
Welcome to the path of the heart! Believe it or not, this can be your reality, to be loved unconditionally and to begin to become that love. This path of love doesn’t go anywhere. It just brings you more here, into the present moment, into the reality of who you already are. This path takes you out of your mind and into your heart."
