Ram Dass Here and Now - Ep. 91 - More Profound Than Miracles: beherenownetwo...
================
Ram Dass tells the story of Maharaji arranging the reunion of a barber and his son by appearing in two places at one time
“More profound than miracles is the quality of His presence - His unconditional love was so intense that it cut through cynicism, doubt and separation. Imagine a place where someone is living in that presence of unconditional love all the time with everyone - and everyone you see is their Beloved. A fully conscious and realized being is that - there are no conditions and no attachments.”
Show Notes
On the other hand we all live within limits which prevent us from loving freely - we are conditional lovers. How do we transform? Not by destroying our bodies, thoughts or emotions but by getting beyond the attachments that prevent us from being free and unconditional lovers.
Dada Mukerjee tells the story from his perspective in his book By His Grace:
It would be such a problem for the barber to give him a shave.
In Kainchi we had some old barbers who knew Babaji very well. While shaving would be going on, he and they would be talking to each other and they would actually be basking in his grace. It would take only about half an hour or so to do the shaving, but they would not be in a hurry and would stay the whole day.
In Allahabad also an old barber would come and there was no problem. He understood Baba and was not in a hurry.
The problem came in Brindavan when Babaji said, “I shall have a shave.”
We did not know any barber and Kishan Singh’s son, Bapu, was asked to find one. He got a young man who ran a small shop in the bazaar.
When that barber came, he was in a hurry because he had left his shop. The shaving was to be done in my room where there was an adjoining bathroom. The barber came and I went to get the hot water and other things.
When I returned, I found that Babaji had taken the bedsheet from my bed and wrapped it around himself. Maharajji held the sheet tight and said, “You never give me this. Do not snatch it away.”
I said, “I will not.” So the shaving began. The greatest difficulty was that Baba would take the mirror in his hands and make faces in it. The old and expert barbers knew how to deal with this, but the young man in a hurry was having trouble.
I said, “Baba, sit straight and let him shave you” But he kept moving and there was a cut. The barber was upset.
Maharajji said, “What is that? What is that?”
“Of course, it is a cut. This is what you have done. The poor fellow is embarrassed; he feels it is his fault. It is yours. You would not allow him peace to shave you ”
Some alum was put on - it was only a small cut. The barber finished and went away. Babaji asked me, “Dada, will the hair grow here again.”

I always get caught by Ragu's prolonged intros. I shouldn't be so attached to hearing Ram Dass where I want when I want.

[@Dwoodman596]

Same. Once I started to understand his actual relationship to Ram Dass though, you start to understand where he is coming from. Either way is a teaching. I do know what you mean though, sort of a gatekeep type vibe. That's fine he's doing a great service

[@brianlund7862]

Been saying for like a month now Raghu will test how unconditional our love is everytime lllolol

[@trueslimness]

In all the vids you can Scroll down the comments and you will find the time the Ram Dass talk starts - It's ok to zap straight to the guru if you want :)

"I ALWAYS GET CAUGHT BY RAGU'S UNNECESSARY NON REQUESTED ANNOYING PROLONGED INTROS . . ."

[@SlowPersuit]

I thought I'd be more accepting & less judgemental & listen to me-me. However about 2 minutes of listening to years out of date announcements broke me once more... Oh guru, please log some fruit at him! ;-)

Thanks Raghu ❤ for putting these vital talks from Ram Dass 🙏 for seekers.

[@BeautyKing_music]

the irony of impatient commenters on a video with subject matter such as this is hilarious.

[@foreveryactionthereisacons1683]

Funny stuff Indeed 😁🤣

[@CaptainPhilosophical]

@SoftserveSodium everyone does not agree that Raghu's contributions appear not worth listening to. What evidence do you perceive that Raghu has a need to ramble? I don't percieve rambling. I hear Ram Dass' ally sharing his message. Oftentimes people don't live up to the model we have in our heads of them.

[@CaptainPhilosophical]

@SoftserveSodium its your over generalizing with the words "everyone" and "nobody", psychoanalysis of Raghu without ever meeting him, and your 'if X then ALL people are Y' logic I question. I don't question some people want to skip Raghu's contribution to the podcast and go straight to Ram Dass because I am one of them. Raghu has devoted his life to preserving these talks in this free podcast form for ALL people to listen to. One if the main reasons you are here listening to it is because of Raghu.

[@vuduchile1977]

Im with softserve on this one. It's similar to what RD says about rajneesh... The 'feel' I get from Raghu is off. It's that of a salesman and self promoter. If he really wanted to spread RD's teachings as a Dharma he could do it in a much less controlled and commercialized manner. He feels much more like a gatekeeper & businessman who is trying to profit off of another's success and brilliance

[@catchups1190]

All part of the perfection

[@riteshbhatia7690]

I had a life before ram dass where I would be constantly be like the woman in the bus guessing what someone is thinking about me. And a life since discovering ramdass where not only am I able to live in love more and more, but increasingly also able to be the space which doesn't really want anything from someone. So when our eyes meet, and I can be just love without conditions, I see all their paranoia settle and the smile come up. And I see this happen more and more. I have tried to life the life of hard work and controlled my desires so that I don't have to take debt, but then this man popped up and gave me the debt of love. One that I keep repaying by laying the same debt on other people and the wonderful part is it never seems to be done. What a human being. And thank you to Raghu and everyone else who help distribute these teachings. Love you all. May we all be kind to each other.

[@gesudinazaret9259]

“The debt of love”

Thank You Muchly Divinely Inspiringly Enlightening

[@catchups1190]

Ragu makes me feel so much more connected to the whole experience also making it increasingly present. I should check out mind rolling since in 2024 no longer includes ragu. Thankyou all for being exactly who you are

Whoa! I listened to this last week and had several amazing, beautiful, huge shifts! Then I listened to it again right now and felt like I had never even heard it before. My mind is so beautifully blown out 🪷right now!

Hehe hi me

[@dalboueyful]

Omg I hate where it ended it was such a great point!! Wish I could have heard the rest

[@FahamNegini]

22:50 probably he did it in that way to overweight the fact that the son has left the father for so long and make it easier for him to come back. As you said when he came back they where both more shocked by Maharaji's action and less by the son's return or the fathers sadness.

[@addisonraines-rw2mj]

I uhm I uhhhh have an obsession with maharaji and ram dass and I can’t deny it or push it away anymore. I am always drawn back and I remember when I first felt my own transcendent nature, my heart was blasted open and I felt the deepest feeling. I’m not sure what it was. I was stuck laying in my bed for weeks crying all day and night, and at the deepest point I remember getting recommended the Hanuman chalisa on KZbin, I had no idea what language it was or what it said, but it brought me the most comfort and love that I had ever experienced. After I felt that much pain in my heart after a while it got too much and my heart shut closed, which was also very painful. I was reading the Gita which first led me to realizing my hearts true nature, but I ended up throwing it into the top off my closet almost because the truth was too painful. I still long to feel that openness again, even though it was the most suffering I have ever known , yet also the deepest love. It’s strange the thing I long for the most is the thing I don’t want to face the most.

[@TiaoChang]

The great way is not difficult to those who have no preferences. It’s a natural process. Sometimes your heart closes so that you can learn how to be juman from the bottom up, you know? Cultivating the root chakra deeply, up to the sacrum, solar plexus.. wich are the earth, water and fire nature essence.. so that you can combine that learning with the opening of the heart. Wich probably will be happening simultaneously.. surely if you cultivate the root. You feel so much calmness and grounded esa that life is so much easy. The heart needs one to not be attached to openings and closings. And it needs to fully and completely love the human being that is in first service to (you). Much luck friend. You are an old soul and you are very welcome and blessed in grace. ☯️🍀🔥💚❤️

[@TiaoChang]

PD: I have that obsession too. Im always back (for now) .

[@bertonedes]

Amazing stories. Somewhere i heard that some deciples were seeing Maharaji after his death(similar like Jesus story). His avatar or something like that. Does that mean that Maharaji(or saints like him) are not in the reincarnation process anymore?

[@thomaswhigham5610]

All is within, in your heart. What matters if the heart is singular or born again and again; the heart is the guru and god

[@bertonedes]

@@thomaswhigham5610 Whan you says HEART, you mean also consciousness.

[@thomaswhigham5610]

@@bertonedes I love you! It is better to remember god/love than to “understand”- if heart is consciousness, then we can always just find more questions, and ask what is “consciousness”- we can be philosophical all day, or I can give you a hug! Which do you like better!? When you are hugging me and hugging this world, heart open, mind quiet, accepting what is, you are remembering god; from a loving energy within, god and guru within you will speak

[@richardconner5880]

Just the fact that he is still serving humanity is your answer. Just as Ramana Maharshi said,when his devotees were crying due to his impending death said,where could I go.? These beings are always available because their level of compassion is unconditional.

Ram Dass is a Hindu. Hindus are idolaters (Exodus 20). One needs to be born spiritually to know God. John 1 tells you who Jesus is, John chapter 3 tells you how to be born spiritually.
