  • Ep. 283 – Your Karma Defines Your Dharma

    This episode of Here and Now is from a talk Ram Dass gave during a retreat at the Omega Foundation in 1992.

    • Beginning with quotes from the great poets Kabir and Rumi, Ram Dass talks about how you start to work with each thing in your life as a method, as a practice. What you’ve got in life becomes what you work with, so your karma defines your dharma.
    • Ram Dass brings up the constant changes we’re dealing with in terms of ecology, politics, and how living in “interesting times” can be seen as a blessing instead of a curse. “In dealing with these changes that are going down,” he says, “part of the real art is to look at what is changing and see how your identification with that which changes is creating so much fear in you that you’re pushing against change.”
    • Continuing with his exploration of change, Ram Dass brings aging and death into the mix. He digs into dealing with changes to the body as we age, and how his work with people who are dying is really work on himself. “For me,” he says, “each act becomes part of the awakening.”

    “And what you do is you just start flipping and taking what you’re given and start to work with it. In other words, your karma defines your dharma. That means what you got is what you work with. I mean, like, my baldness is my karma. I mean, it’s my genetics, it’s everything. Now, it becomes my dharma. Now, I can use it in order to become free of being bald, or being not bald, or whatever.” – Ram Dass

    This episode of Here and Now is from a recording of Ram Dass at the Lama Foundation in June of 1978. Here, he reads stories from the manuscript of Miracle of Love, which would be published about a year later.

    • Ram Dass begins by reading one of his own stories about Maharaj-ji, which involves a dead bird coming back to life. This was one of many experiences that overwhelmed Ram Dass’ analytical mind.
    • Next, Ram Dass reads a series of stories from some of Maharaj-ji’s oldest devotees. He dealt with each person in a unique fashion and would often touch places of the deepest love within people.
    • Ram Dass slips in a story about another great Indian saint, Ramana Maharshi. He then turns back to Maharaj-ji stories, focusing on miracles around food. Maharaj-ji said, “We have an inner thirst for food. We don’t know of it. Even if you don’t feel you could eat, your soul has a thirst for food.”

    “You see why it’s peculiar to live in a culture like India, where all of these events are sort of like everyday occurrences. In the villages we live in, in the mountains, every family has dozens of these stories, and they just sit by the fire of the evening telling them. To come back to the West, where these stories are thought to be ‘miracles,’ is very confusing sometimes, difficult to integrate.” – Ram Dass

  • Ep. 281 – Across the Decades: Ram Dass on Love and the Path of the Heart
    Jul 7 2025

    Speaking across the decades from the 1960s to the 2010s, Ram Dass shares his thoughts on the feeling of love and the path of the heart.

    Ram Dass Here & Now is brought to you by BetterHelp. Give online therapy a try at betterhelp.com/ramdass and get on your way to being your best self.

    This episode of Here and Now is a compilation of Ram Dass speaking about love and the path of the heart across the decades:

    • We begin in 1969, with Ram Dass talking about Maher Baba, whom he calls the personification of pure love. He describes a particularly powerful LSD trip where he gained insight into the true nature of love. He says, “I now conceive of the fact that falling in love means like falling into a bathtub of love.”
    • We move on to 1979, with Ram Dass addressing the Christian Community of San Francisco. He describes the different stages of falling in love and talks about the devotional nature of the path of the heart. “And that’s one of your predicaments,” he says, “that when you really fall in love, it just opens and opens and opens, and you just don’t know where to hold on anymore.”
    • The next stop is 1986, with Ram Dass touching on conditional love and the deprivation model we’ve been working with all our lives. He digs deeper into the different stages of love and talks about the need to give up the deprivation model. He says, “You change from the deprivation model to the model where there’s an abundance of [love].”
    • We fast forward to the 1990s, with Ram Dass reading from the I Ching about the path of love and the path of the heart. He talks about how we are hungry ghosts who get addicted to the method of love, but all methods are traps. “And yet,” he says, “the bizarre thing about methods is they don’t work unless you get trapped.”
    • Finally, we end in 2017, with Ram Dass telling a delicious story about loving everything, including a rug with spots on it. He talks about how judgment is in the mind, but love is in the heart. “I don’t judge,” he says. “But if I do judge, I love it.”

    “Now, if you look at in the sense that, in the usual way of, ‘I fell in love with this person, there’s another way of seeing that, which is this person is a stimulus, is something in the world that was just right in a key sense to release us into the place in ourselves where we are love. And we say, as a result, ‘I am in love with you.’ Another way of saying it is, ‘You turn me on to the place in myself where I am love, where I can’t get to without you.’ Now we’re talking about you being my connection to that place in myself where I am love, where I can’t get without you. And then I want to hold on to my connection, just as any good junkie would like to do.” – Ram Dass

It’s taken me 45 years to come to Ram Dass’ teachings (when the student is ready…)

And I’m blown away by the abundance of access to his teachings (240+ episodes and counting).

I’ve been listening to 1-2 everyday and I feel my consciousness deepening - saying “thank you” with each listen.

Gratitude to those making Ram Dass’ teachings available so freely.

At 45 I did LSD for the first time- The experience left me so altered Its hard to integrate and communicate all that was- It's like a flower blooming- layers started to fall away, unfold into a dynamic kaleidoscope of brilliant colors and contrasting hues of darkness; this blooming showed me I am not the many petals of the flower-nor am I the flower. All my tragic life experiences created certain petals. All my monumental life experiences created other petals. I examined each petal and only saw perfection and beauty. Each one perfectly whirled around the center of the flower making it what it is. Opened fully the flower almost radiates with its own light! It crowns the garden entry and jewels the green prairies with explosions of color. It's ephemeral nature is part of the beauty! Slowly it's glow fades, petals wilt- drying, turning brown and softy floating to the ground. I am that flower but I'm not that flower- for I'm watching the flowers beginning and end! I saw life very differently as each traumatic and beautiful experience in my past was revealed to me as a necessary piece to a puzzle I'm still working on. It didn't serve me to identify with anything-yet not being able to identify with something was terrifying- Similar to drowning, in terror you grasp for anything to cling to- I was not able to surrender! And I wasn't able to return to the life I had before. I gathered up what was left of who I thought I was and woke up from that LSD experience profoundly altered! I so struggled after that dangling between thinking I was insane vs feeling extreme gratitude for every sunrise. My tiny intellect unable to process it all. I desperately Googled for answers or at least another person in this world that felt this way. I felt at one and so alone all at once. The Universe knew what I needed, because that Google search led me to Ram Dass Be Here Now and this podcast!!
Ram helped integrate this insanity (aka spiritual awakening)into my current worldly constructs. Without a solid identity a stark spiritual awakening can lead to depression or worse! I may have fallen victim to that had you all not felt lead to republish these works! It's NO ACCIDENT you were led to do this! It's saved at least one human body and my spirit is journeying in the only direction it was meant to go. 🙏I've never been so hungry to learn and do more!

Life saving!!!! These saved my life and sanity!
