Via Ram Dass - Love Serve Remember Foundation // Words of Wisdom - June 27, 2021 💌
We get so emotionally preoccupied with the thing that is wrong with us,
that it starts to color all of the ways in which we see the world around
us...
In the course of spiritual awakening, our social perceptions keep
changing as we do this spiritual work. Many of us are in the peculiar
predicament that we have built an entire ego structure about who we are
and how we function, based on these emotionally-laden habits about
individual differences...
...Maharaji kept saying to me, ‘Ram Dass don’t you see it’s all perfect? Everybody is being just who they are.’
