1
00:00:19,936 --> 00:00:21,312
[Ram Dass] We are...
2
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:23,898
soul.
3
00:00:28,111 --> 00:00:29,821
As souls...
4
00:00:31,448 --> 00:00:34,075
we are not under...
5
00:00:36,077 --> 00:00:38,705
time or space.
6
00:00:40,123 --> 00:00:41,499
We are...
7
00:00:45,295 --> 00:00:47,130
We are infinite.
8
00:00:49,924 --> 00:00:51,426
[wind blowing]
9
00:01:02,187 --> 00:01:04,022
[Ram Dass on recording]
Try following your breath.
10
00:01:05,523 --> 00:01:07,859
And every time any thought arises...
11
00:01:15,408 --> 00:01:17,452
notice it and then go back to the breath.
12
00:01:28,171 --> 00:01:31,341
Each time your awareness
is drawn away from the breath,
13
00:01:32,050 --> 00:01:34,511
to a thought or a sensation...
14
00:01:35,512 --> 00:01:37,305
to a memory or a plan...
15
00:01:39,682 --> 00:01:43,186
to a sensation in your leg
or a sound in the room,
16
00:01:43,269 --> 00:01:45,522
notice that it has gone away
from the breath,
17
00:01:45,605 --> 00:01:47,148
and bring it back to breath.
18
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,951
Now, you don't have to keep
your eyes closed to do this.
19
00:01:58,326 --> 00:02:02,080
Try opening your eyes,
but keep the breath the focus.
20
00:02:12,715 --> 00:02:13,925
Let it all be there.
21
00:02:14,509 --> 00:02:17,512
Don't be busy not seeing
or not thinking...
22
00:02:23,309 --> 00:02:26,521
[chime dings]
23
00:02:37,490 --> 00:02:38,992
[birds chirping faintly]
24
00:02:44,164 --> 00:02:48,877
[Ram Dass] My guru hangs out
at this place.
25
00:02:50,253 --> 00:02:51,880
[breathing heavily]
26
00:02:56,092 --> 00:02:58,595
It seems to be the holy ground...
27
00:02:59,387 --> 00:03:00,555
holy ground.
28
00:03:03,933 --> 00:03:07,937
I feel this place like that.
29
00:03:08,938 --> 00:03:11,566
It's one step from India.
30
00:03:14,944 --> 00:03:18,364
Maui is a refuge.
31
00:03:25,997 --> 00:03:30,251
It's away from the hustle and bustle.
32
00:03:32,170 --> 00:03:33,755
All my life, I've been...
33
00:03:34,339 --> 00:03:37,759
going city to city to city
on speaking tours.
34
00:03:40,845 --> 00:03:43,181
It's a good place to stop.
35
00:03:44,974 --> 00:03:46,768
No more planes.
36
00:03:49,729 --> 00:03:52,190
I'm going nowhere.
37
00:03:53,566 --> 00:03:55,193
Going nowhere.
38
00:04:00,323 --> 00:04:02,158
Up here in my study...
39
00:04:03,368 --> 00:04:05,119
it's a bird's view.
40
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:08,665
It's a birds view.
41
00:04:10,375 --> 00:04:15,088
They fly. They do pirouettes.
They do all kinds of things.
42
00:04:15,755 --> 00:04:18,466
And I see. I hear.
43
00:04:26,140 --> 00:04:27,767
[waves crashing]
44
00:04:30,728 --> 00:04:32,146
I love the ocean.
45
00:04:33,564 --> 00:04:36,442
I think of where the ocean goes.
46
00:04:37,860 --> 00:04:38,861
Everywhere.
47
00:04:39,404 --> 00:04:40,405
Everywhere.
48
00:04:56,629 --> 00:05:00,800
The wind here is the trade winds.
49
00:05:02,510 --> 00:05:04,679
And they keep it cool.
50
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:09,392
And their sound is in the trees.
51
00:05:11,144 --> 00:05:12,812
[wind blowing]
52
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,608
Nature is my friend.
53
00:05:19,277 --> 00:05:22,155
And that just gives me the ambiance.
54
00:05:33,916 --> 00:05:35,752
In Maui...
55
00:05:39,130 --> 00:05:42,675
I'm just doing a stage of my...
56
00:05:43,801 --> 00:05:46,888
Sadhana, my spiritual work.
57
00:05:48,431 --> 00:05:52,685
More and more love, more and more love,
more and more love.
58
00:06:00,943 --> 00:06:03,696
Truth, love...
59
00:06:06,032 --> 00:06:07,533
consciousness.
60
00:06:08,993 --> 00:06:11,204
That's what God is to me.
61
00:06:13,915 --> 00:06:15,625
It's just consciousness.
62
00:06:18,002 --> 00:06:19,504
[metal cranking]
63
00:06:25,802 --> 00:06:32,642
My life has been a dance
between power and love.
64
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,354
The first part...
65
00:06:38,481 --> 00:06:40,983
until Harvard,
66
00:06:41,067 --> 00:06:43,778
power, power, power, power.
67
00:06:49,117 --> 00:06:50,993
[motorcycle engine rumbling]
68
00:06:53,955 --> 00:06:55,915
Up until drugs...
69
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:02,672
I thought power was end-all and be-all...
70
00:07:05,049 --> 00:07:08,678
because I was a little individual.
71
00:07:16,269 --> 00:07:18,438
Then drugs and on...
72
00:07:18,896 --> 00:07:20,648
[motorcycle engine rumbling]
73
00:07:24,318 --> 00:07:25,778
[engine stops]
74
00:07:28,197 --> 00:07:29,782
[wind howling]
75
00:07:31,325 --> 00:07:33,494
...love, love, love, love.
76
00:07:38,791 --> 00:07:41,544
My first mushroom trip...
77
00:07:42,086 --> 00:07:46,215
it was so profound that I saw that...
78
00:07:47,383 --> 00:07:49,343
radiance was inside.
79
00:07:51,679 --> 00:07:53,139
And I said...
80
00:07:54,098 --> 00:07:56,350
"I'm home. I'm home. I'm home."
81
00:07:59,604 --> 00:08:03,900
My life was from roles...
82
00:08:06,068 --> 00:08:06,903
to soul.
83
00:08:10,364 --> 00:08:11,949
[metal cranking]
84
00:08:51,322 --> 00:08:53,157
[typing]
85
00:08:58,454 --> 00:08:59,997
[Ram Dass on recording] The great way
86
00:09:00,081 --> 00:09:03,960
is not difficult
for those who have no preferences.
87
00:09:14,971 --> 00:09:16,639
I know nothin' about the future.
88
00:09:38,661 --> 00:09:40,246
[Ram Dass] Before the stroke,
89
00:09:40,955 --> 00:09:47,044
I had written a book that was called
How Can I Help?
90
00:09:47,503 --> 00:09:49,672
And it was about helping.
91
00:09:49,755 --> 00:09:51,716
I was gonna help, you know?
92
00:09:55,469 --> 00:09:56,929
After the stroke...
93
00:10:00,641 --> 00:10:03,102
I would have titled the book...
94
00:10:04,770 --> 00:10:06,772
How Can You Help Me?
95
00:10:10,985 --> 00:10:14,780
In this culture, dependency is a no-no.
96
00:10:18,909 --> 00:10:24,373
The stroke showed me dependency.
97
00:10:27,376 --> 00:10:30,838
And I have people that are dependable.
98
00:10:33,966 --> 00:10:38,220
My stroke makes it hard to play the cello.
99
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:40,681
It's difficult to play golf.
100
00:10:41,766 --> 00:10:46,228
Those are out there and I'm in here.
101
00:10:49,315 --> 00:10:51,567
-[harmonium playing]
-[man vocalizing]
102
00:10:54,362 --> 00:11:00,785
The stroke pushed me inside even more...
103
00:11:01,827 --> 00:11:04,497
and it's so wonderful.
104
00:11:04,580 --> 00:11:06,582
[laughs]
105
00:11:13,881 --> 00:11:17,718
I don't wish you the stroke, but...
106
00:11:17,802 --> 00:11:22,181
I wish you the grace from the stroke.
107
00:11:26,018 --> 00:11:29,230
[caretaker singing "Sita Ram"]
108
00:11:33,943 --> 00:11:40,116
My guru told me that the stroke
would be grace.
109
00:11:47,498 --> 00:11:51,168
When I met Maharaj-ji...
110
00:11:53,838 --> 00:11:55,923
it was unconditional love.
111
00:12:00,344 --> 00:12:03,389
It was wonderful to be loved that way.
112
00:12:05,141 --> 00:12:08,686
And I said, "I'm home. I'm home."
113
00:12:14,483 --> 00:12:19,029
A guru is the doorway to God...
114
00:12:22,491 --> 00:12:28,581
to consciousness, to the One, Ram.
115
00:12:28,664 --> 00:12:31,167
[continues singing "Sita Ram"]
116
00:12:38,883 --> 00:12:40,676
With psychedelics,
117
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:45,723
Maharaj-ji said you could go into the room
118
00:12:46,307 --> 00:12:52,688
in which Christ and Buddha exist.
119
00:12:55,024 --> 00:13:00,613
But you only stay... a few minutes.
120
00:13:01,197 --> 00:13:02,323
A few minutes.
121
00:13:05,993 --> 00:13:08,871
[continues singing "Sita Ram"]
122
00:13:10,206 --> 00:13:14,418
[Ram Dass on recording]
Every time I would sit with Maharaj-ji,
123
00:13:14,502 --> 00:13:15,711
time would stop.
124
00:13:17,505 --> 00:13:21,759
It was like a moment expanded.
125
00:13:34,063 --> 00:13:37,691
He lived in eternity.
126
00:14:25,072 --> 00:14:29,702
[Ram Dass] Most of what we encounter
are thoughts.
127
00:14:30,369 --> 00:14:31,912
[thunder rumbling]
128
00:14:39,795 --> 00:14:43,424
I project not only the names, but values.
129
00:14:46,427 --> 00:14:49,346
So that's around, judging everything.
130
00:15:09,617 --> 00:15:11,577
Without those projections...
131
00:15:12,578 --> 00:15:15,247
I can see everything.
132

Life is but a dream.
138
00:15:54,286 --> 00:15:57,373
The incarnation is a dream.
139
00:15:59,291 --> 00:16:04,838
This incarnation suggests
there are other incarnations.
140

Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily...

People don't seem to know

143

that their consciousness
goes way farther than the incarnation.
144
00:16:36,829 --> 00:16:43,127
We pinch ourselves to know we're alive...
145

in this life.
146
00:16:51,635 --> 00:16:55,681
The soul is in the heart level.
147
00:16:57,224 --> 00:16:59,184
That's the entry point.
148
00:17:01,645 --> 00:17:03,814
And then you mantra...

00:17:05,524 --> 00:17:08,110
[chanting] I am loving awareness.

I am loving awareness.

I am loving awareness.

I am loving awareness.
156
00:17:26,712 --> 00:17:31,759
Identify with loving awareness,
157
00:17:33,260 --> 00:17:36,680
and then go through the veil...
158
00:17:39,516 --> 00:17:41,769
that consciousness veil.
159
00:17:53,530 --> 00:17:55,616
Going through that veil
160
00:17:56,366 --> 00:17:59,036
is part of...
161
00:18:01,580 --> 00:18:02,956
spiritual practice...
162
00:18:09,129 --> 00:18:12,466

[Ram Dass] There's change

Memory.
171
00:19:38,594 --> 00:19:40,304
Death is change.
172
00:19:41,180 --> 00:19:42,848
Just another one.
173
00:19:43,807 --> 00:19:45,017
Just another one.
174
00:19:48,395 --> 00:19:53,358
If you're identified with your soul,
death is a snap.
175
00:19:54,651 --> 00:19:56,445
The soul...
176
00:19:59,198 --> 00:20:00,824
goes...
177
00:20:00,908 --> 00:20:03,202
birth, death, birth, death.
178
00:20:07,372 --> 00:20:11,460
Death is another step towards home.
179
00:20:36,485 --> 00:20:37,945
Okay.
180
00:20:38,028 --> 00:20:39,947
And how is this side, Ram Dass?
181
00:20:40,030 --> 00:20:42,491
-It's... It's okay.
-It's okay.

-Oh, wait a minute.
-You're gonna retract that statement?

-Yeah. [chuckles]
-It was okay.
184

I give up.
185
00:20:51,875 --> 00:20:55,754
[Ram Dass on recording] I realize
it's presumptuous to talk about death,
186
00:20:56,255 --> 00:20:57,923
as if I know.
187
00:20:58,006 --> 00:20:59,466
[audience laughing]
188
00:20:59,549 --> 00:21:01,718
[Ram Dass] But I have a lot of hutzpah.
189
00:21:02,219 --> 00:21:05,222
-That's Sanskrit for, uh...
-[audience laughing]
190
00:21:10,310 --> 00:21:14,147
[Ram Dass] And something has happened
to me as a result of my meanderings
191
00:21:14,231 --> 00:21:17,693
through the realms of consciousness
over the past 30 years...
192
00:21:18,443 --> 00:21:21,363
that has changed my attitudes
towards death.
193
00:21:22,572 --> 00:21:26,285
A lot of the fear that death generated
that led to denial
194
00:21:27,077 --> 00:21:28,829
has gone from me.
195
00:21:30,622 --> 00:21:36,211
Death does not have to be treated
as an enemy for you to delight in life.
196
00:21:36,295 --> 00:21:39,339
Keeping death present
in your consciousness,
197
00:21:39,423 --> 00:21:41,967
as one of the greatest mysteries,
198
00:21:42,050 --> 00:21:45,762
and as the moment
of incredible transformation,
199
00:21:46,888 --> 00:21:51,393
imbues this moment with added richness
200
00:21:52,060 --> 00:21:56,023
and energy that otherwise
is used up in denial.
201
00:21:57,983 --> 00:22:02,362
Death is not an error.
It is not a failure.
202
00:22:03,363 --> 00:22:06,491
It is taking off a tight shoe.
203
00:22:09,661 --> 00:22:12,164
I'm one of the strange people
204
00:22:13,248 --> 00:22:17,753
that absolutely delights and enjoys
being with people as they're dying,
205
00:22:18,795 --> 00:22:21,048
because I know
I'm going to have an opportunity
206
00:22:21,131 --> 00:22:23,216
to be in the presence of truth.
207
00:22:24,801 --> 00:22:28,221
So when I sit with somebody,
the first thing I have to do
208
00:22:28,305 --> 00:22:32,100
is open myself to all my reactions
to their predicament.
209
00:22:33,101 --> 00:22:35,270
All of it, all of the pain of it.
210
00:22:35,353 --> 00:22:38,148
Grieve for the other person's loss.
211
00:22:39,316 --> 00:22:43,320
And when they feel heard in the grief,
212
00:22:43,403 --> 00:22:46,114
then we can start to meet
behind the grief.
213
00:22:48,325 --> 00:22:52,370
And I'm faced with the paradox that I,
214
00:22:52,454 --> 00:22:56,458
as a human, with a human emotional heart,
want to take away your suffering.
215
00:22:57,250 --> 00:22:58,376
And at the same moment,
216
00:22:58,460 --> 00:23:01,922
there's another part of me
that understands that suffering is grace,
217
00:23:02,839 --> 00:23:06,218
that suffering is the sandpaper,
from the spiritual point of view,
218
00:23:06,301 --> 00:23:07,928
that is awakening people.
219
00:23:08,011 --> 00:23:10,097
And once you've started
to spiritually awaken,
220
00:23:10,180 --> 00:23:12,474
you re-perceive your own suffering
221
00:23:12,557 --> 00:23:16,311
and start to work with it
as a vehicle for awakening.
222
00:23:20,482 --> 00:23:24,361
As my guru says, "God comes to the hungry
in the form of food."
223
00:24:11,366 --> 00:24:13,702
[Ram Dass] My name...
224
00:24:15,120 --> 00:24:17,289
is a name for Hanuman.
225
00:24:27,757 --> 00:24:32,637
Hanuman... is a loving servant.
226
00:24:35,307 --> 00:24:37,184
The Hanuman garden...
227
00:24:39,352 --> 00:24:42,522
is where Hanuman hangs out.
228
00:24:43,815 --> 00:24:47,736
Hanuman likes vegetation around him.
229
00:24:47,819 --> 00:24:53,033
He's a child of nature...
230
00:24:53,116 --> 00:24:58,288
and I contact him there.
231
00:25:01,833 --> 00:25:06,046
I mistake his words...
232
00:25:08,381 --> 00:25:10,383
by the quiet.
233
00:25:17,849 --> 00:25:22,771
Ram said to Hanuman,
"What are you, monkey?"
234
00:25:25,690 --> 00:25:27,651
And Hanuman answered,
235
00:25:30,862 --> 00:25:35,617
"When I don't know who I am, I serve you.
236
00:25:39,079 --> 00:25:41,122
When I know who I am,
237
00:25:42,874 --> 00:25:44,668
I am you."
238
00:26:03,478 --> 00:26:05,021
[indistinct chatter]
239
00:26:19,202 --> 00:26:21,246
We've lived longer than we think.
240
00:26:24,374 --> 00:26:27,460
You're traveling through lives.
241
00:26:34,968 --> 00:26:36,761
What did you learn...
242
00:26:38,054 --> 00:26:39,764
in this life?
243
00:26:54,154 --> 00:26:56,072
Considerable joy.
244
00:26:57,449 --> 00:26:58,825
Considerable joy.
245
00:27:08,084 --> 00:27:09,711
[inaudible]
246
00:27:21,056 --> 00:27:26,144
When you're in your soul
and you love something,
247
00:27:26,227 --> 00:27:31,608
and the things become melding, melding...
248
00:27:36,279 --> 00:27:41,534
So you love something
and you become one with it.
249
00:27:43,161 --> 00:27:44,662
[sighs]
250
00:27:47,957 --> 00:27:51,169
All of us... one.
251
00:27:55,715 --> 00:27:57,384
All of us, one.
252
00:27:59,636 --> 00:28:00,637
Yeah.
253
00:28:03,515 --> 00:28:05,141
One consciousness.
254
00:28:06,142 --> 00:28:08,061
One consciousness.
255
00:28:11,106 --> 00:28:13,274
And that's the way in which the world...
256
00:28:16,778 --> 00:28:18,780
could right itself.
257
00:28:21,783 --> 00:28:24,994
Start with your peace,
258
00:28:25,078 --> 00:28:25,912
your love,
259
00:28:26,871 --> 00:28:28,581
your compassion,
260
00:28:28,665 --> 00:28:30,125
and go from there.
261
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:33,378
And then...
262
00:28:35,004 --> 00:28:36,548
love everything.
263
00:28:37,549 --> 00:28:38,925
Everything.
264
00:28:57,277 --> 00:28:58,737
Let's all...
265
00:29:00,572 --> 00:29:02,490
walk each other...
266
00:29:03,283 --> 00:29:04,451
home.
267
00:29:11,374 --> 00:29:13,918
