In this powerful talk from 1992, Ram Dass explores:

Boundaries and the nature of love
Belief systems and faith
How his work with death and dying has prepared him for dealing with a dying culture and the looming ecological disaster
His work with the Seva Foundation and the power of community
Tapping into the truth of your deepest being to hear your unique dharma
Finding the balance between emptiness and compassion in the face of immense suffering

“If you and I are to be instruments of the healing of the world, it is that we are quiet enough to hear our dharma, our way, and that we live our way as a statement. As Gandhi said, ‘My life is my message.’ We live our lives in such a way that the way you are in the supermarket, the way you are with your loved ones, the way you are when you’re facing pain, it is all part of the deepest wisdom statement you are able to make. It is the truth of your deepest being. For that, you have to listen inward very quietly as your offering to all beings.” – Ram Dass

2:19.3	This is episode 230. It was recorded in 1992 in Monterey, California and it's a continuation
2:27.3	from the last episode we aired. In that first episode, in the beginning, Ramdhas talked about how
