Via Ram Dass - Love Serve Remember Foundation -- Words of Wisdom - December 8, 2024 💌

 


"The three levels of compassionate action that I see are: One is you do compassionate action as best you can as an exercise on yourself to come closer to God, to spirit, to awareness, to One.

Next is you start to appreciate that you’re a part of something larger than yourself and you are an instrument of God. No longer are you doing it to get there, you’re now doing it as an instrument.

And third is where you lose self-consciousness and you are God manifest. You’re part of the hand of God. Then you’re not doing anything. It’s just God manifest. How do you get to that third one? By honoring others and being patient.

So we all relax and we just keep quieting and calming and observing and witnessing. We keep aiming and correcting and cleaning and letting go and opening again and coming back. Just keep quieting and deepening, opening the heart, quieting the mind.

The ego gets subtler and subtler. It gets more obvious to the quiet mind and witness how it’s working. You become a connoisseur and an appreciator of your own ego."
