Via Ram Dass - Love Serve Remember Foundation \\ Words of Wisdom - November 24, 2021 💌
From the soul’s point of view, you come to appreciate that each one of
us is living out his or her own karma. We interact together, and those
interactions are the grist for each other’s mill of awakening. From a
personality point of view, you develop judgment, but from the soul’s
point of view, you develop appreciation.
This shift from judging to appreciating — to appreciating yourself and
what your karmic predicament is, and who other beings are with their own
karma — brings everything into a simple loving awareness. To be free
means to open your heart and your being to the fullness of who you are
because only when you are resting in the place of unity can you truly
honor and appreciate others and the incredible diversity of the
universe.
