Ram Dass Quotes About Suffering

• I would say that the thrust of my life has been initially about getting free, and then realizing that my freedom is not independent of everybody else. Then I am arriving at that circle where one works on oneself as a gift to other people so that one doesn't create more suffering. I help people as a work on myself and I work on myself to help people.

• Within the spiritual journey you understand that suffering becomes something that has been given to you to show you where your mind is still stuck. It’s a vehicle to help you go to work. That’s why it’s called grace.

• Observa cómo juzga tu mente. El juicio proviene, en parte, de tu propio miedo. Juzgas a los demás porque no te sientes cómodo en tu propio ser. Al juzgar, descubres cuál es tu posición en relación con los demás. La mente que juzga es muy divisiva. Separa. La separación cierra tu corazón. Si cierras tu corazón a alguien, estás perpetuando tu sufrimiento y el suyo. Dejar de juzgar significa aprender a apreciar tu situación y la de los demás con el corazón abierto, en lugar de juzgar. Entonces puedes permitirte a ti mismo y a los demás simplemente ser, sin separación.

• When you look back at your own life, you see ... the sufferings you went through, each time you would have avoided it if you possibly could. And yet, when you look at the depth of your character now, isn't a part of that a product of those experiences? Weren't those experiences part of what created the depth of your inner being?

• Along with faith comes the requirement for dogged persistence. At first meditation may bring you mild highs or some relief from suffering. But there may come a time - just as there does in the development of any skill - when there will be a plateau. You may be bored, discouraged, or even negative and cynical. This is when you will need not only faith, but persistence.

• The root of compassion is not empathy; that is kindness. Kindness is great, but it is not the ultimate compassion. Ultimate compassion relieves the suffering that comes from separateness. The suffering that comes from separateness is relieved only when you are fully present with another person, not when you are separately present.
