Ram Dass - Here and Now - Ep. 153 - Devotional Tantra and the Divine Mother: beherenownetwo...
================
In this unique dharma talk from 1976, Ram Dass explores the practice of devotional tantra, which is about seeing the world as the Divine Mother Kali and feeding her with your impurities.
Feeding Kali
What is devotional tantra? Ram Dass describes the practice of seeing the world as the Divine Mother, and how you can use every experience in life as a vehicle for awakening. He talks about how everything you see in the world is a reflection of your clinging, but you can feed all of that karma to Kali.
“She just keeps eating your karma, that’s what Kali does. She just keeps consuming your impurities.” - Ram Dass
Pure Shakti (23:00)
Ram Dass reflects on how all of life is the Mother, and you consume the Mother through your love. The Mother is pure shakti, pure energy, that is the fuel for you to go from form to formless.
“When you see what the game is, you are being fed by the Mother, and everything in the universe becomes food for you.” - Ram Dass
Dealing with Suffering and Anger (34:34)
Ram Dass talks about his work with death and dying, and how it’s essential to balance seeing the natural perfection of suffering with keeping your heart open to human suffering. And when it comes to anger, remember that you can feed it all to the Mother.
“You know why you get angry? You get angry because something in the world isn’t harmonious with how you think it ought to be. That’s all you get angry for.” - Ram Dass

@@shayxo193 Actually I found what I was looking for in Christ. I disavow the teachings of Ram Dass as well intentioned deception

Jai Jai Maa!! Burn it away, I lay it at your lotus feet!!! 🔥🙏🔥

[@johnterry6541]

“The game is to be where you are, be it honestly or consciously as you know how.” Someone deconstruct this line please. I love this opening line on all of these talks.

[@JonathanDziwanowski]

Love god as what is, while not getting caught in the world covering the mother. Live without noticing or craving breath. We are always in the white light, the phenomena the lifetimes are just clouds passing by. Your identity is a cloud passing by. Watch mother in you love and consume itself and circulate love and acceptance. Is. While witnessing from the white light the one point the unperceived union of subject and object. Namaste

[@JonathanDziwanowski]

Blessings to you John. Enjoy walking home 🤍

[@rosinamarie13]

The game, which is what we're doing, in Maya, is to be as conscious as you can be, here in the present.

[@etiennemarshallthach3736]

Everyone has a dharma. Sift the dirt dust and damnation off your soul. Here we are, son or daughter or other of some two people. Lost and found. Grab your ticket, set your sights to the one eternal truth. Even on the darkest solsticial new moon, the sun is just a shadow away. You are awaiting you. Go get it!

[@fungdark8270]

Be here now, without your models of the world or yourself. It gets no simpler or complex
