Venture under Maharajji’s blanket as Becky and I explore Ram Dass’s teaching about being fully human and fully divine
“I didn’t want to be not human, I wanted to embrace my humanity. Now, let that resonate with you, when I say, ’embrace our humanity’ and ‘love your stuff’ and your personality and all. The predicament is that we are such a psychologically oriented culture, that you’ve got to go a little bit through that cycle to get to the point where you can come back into your humanity. If you try to stay in it and get free at the same moment, you tend to con yourself. There is the need at some stage in your sadhana (spiritual work) for either removing yourself or for disciplining yourself in order to extricate your awareness from such thick identity with personality, because everything in this social world most of us live in reinforces our identity with our roles and our personality.”
- Ram Dass
