I'm so glad to see a lot more people listening to Baba Ram Dass. He has done wonders for educating people on realization of the self. Just remember, none of this is serious. It's all a play and we are all one! Safe travels y'all ❤️

@@flid1168 you're a clown. There's someone to fill every shoe though,.sometimes we have less control over what we are than what we would like to have. That's because it's up to you to be what you want to be, if you want to be a negative little clown that's what you will be, for the moment anyway. Good thing is for you and everyone else, nothing lasts. If you can be nothing though......

Thank you. I can't stand Marcus.

[@pamela-vi7rp]

@Roman Schmidbauer All he seems to do is repeat parts of what Ram Dass will say in each video. I just cringe when I hear him speak because my gut tells me that this guy is just a leach and money hungry. Bad vibes. Thank you for asking. I wish to be wrong. That day may come.🕊️

[@pamela-vi7rp]

[@alohadave8119]

It's all forgiveness. The spaciousness of the true self can accommodate all of human suffering with infinite room to spare. Human suffering is very limited and the truth will replace it all

[@nthnglsn]

Last time i saw my dad, we had a big fight. A few days later he died. Never got to make amends and it hurt a lot for a while. It's gotten easier since. Rams answer at the 35 min mark was beautifully said.

[@joshuabiondi9226]

I had the exact same experience. Still holding on to some of the guilt but it’s getting easier to let go. Namaste ❤️

Had to realize this, when my great grandma passed. I got to visit her, hold her, right after she died. I thought I would never be able to go on. But like Ram Dass says, beyond the horribleness is joy. It’s there.

I love how people can listen to Ram dass, probably convincing themselves they are taking his words to heart. Then unapologetically shit on someone who put in all the work to put these talks together. I get skipping the intro, but you hate the guy? Wtf? No he's not charismatic and sometimes hes redundant, but the animosity i read video to video shows how the ego uses ram dass and truly assimilates nothing. People who hate unapologetically want to want enlightenment but they will never give up their judgement. They don't want to. How else are you going to prop yourself aside from shitting on people who annoy you? Please get over yourself . Skip the intro if you'd like. But give your hate to kali. Actually give it up. For yourself.

[@givgonti7877]

i agree, but if he put a timestamp for when the talk actually starts that would be helpful at least. I often get annoyed when i want or need to listen to ram dass and and then a guy who i’ve never heard of is talking for 15 minutes

[@loudtim265]

It’s Raghu Markus, he’s quite well-known, patient, and wise. He was a dear friend of Ram Dass and is carrying the message and the business forward. He is absolutely worthy of unconditional love and understanding, respect at they very least. His “Mindrolling” podcast is brilliant.

[@alexiarohdin879]

What about your hate?

[@PatriciaLancaster]

There is no birth or death. No mistakes. An aborted child was planned. The experience for the unborn soul was an experience the soul asked for. Beyond logic and reasoning. You explained it well. It's not for us to say!

[@brickyb22]

Love these but maybe shorten intro to few mins/3 key reflections, and provide link to longer intro?

This conversation about the Holocaust: I mean no disrespect on it,I feel we are all going through it today with these lock downs, restrictions, vaccines,masks,all these viruses being made in labs and some how it's spread around,COVID cards to keep track of who got vaxed or not,it came to me we might be in a biological warfare.

[@arpanagarwal2524]

M.K. Gandhi was not as blind to need for military action as people make him out to be. In 1947, Gandhi said this to a senior military officer on eve of a military conflict when the latter expressed his loss of words over Gandhi's anti war stance: “You’re going in to protect innocent people, and to save them from suffering and their property from destruction. To achieve that you must naturally make full use of every means at your disposal.” Gandhi was also against Arm's Act passed by the British which prohibited Indians from carrying firearms. Yes, Gandhi took ridiculous anti war stance in some situations eg. in case of Nazi Germany, but he was not blind on this topic.

[@martinmckinney8922]

[@BillieChristine-d5c]

My burning question for everyone is, Have any of you experienced what he refers to as "You are the orgasm?"

[@mitchfarr7674]

Does anyone else find the introduction completely unnecessary and just straight annoying? It’s as though the narrator wants to be some part involved but just wastes everyone’s time by including pointless comments and pretend insights to believe in his own wisdom.

[@thaliagarcia9684]

He loves the sound of his own voice... god bless him...16 minutes of rambling ffs.. surely he could give us the short version in 5..

[@BH195829]

Dudes… you don’t understand, it’s all part of the journey… there’s no rush… Ragu was one of Ram’s best friends- of course he is going to milk it. If it was about speed, we would not have long winded symphonies… long winded dancing, long winded musicians… we would, under your thinking, reward quick music, quick dances, quick journeys… slow down and smell the roses. 🙏💕🕉 BTW - I am fast forwarding to Ram, but I don’t need to slay Ragu to push the button… that’s ego… isn’t it? Do you really have to be nasty?
