Summary

Dan Ellsberg tries scare tactics to get Ram Dass to take social action. Ram Dass says –“In fact nuclear weaponry are out of balance with the way of things - The Dao - so you don’t have to cajole or coerce people into acting. You can’t milk it through fear. You can just trust people’s gut. They will react through their own intuitive sense of being in tune with the way.” “Quiet mind-open heart- we do what we can to relieve suffering” - Ram Dass “It’s the freedom of consciousness that hears the impeccable act that brings about the healing of the planet and all it’s people so that you are an instrument for the relief of suffering; Even though at another level you can see that suffering is part of the nature of things. And the perfection is that we act to relieve the suffering while acknowledging that both the act and the suffering are part of one mosaic.” - Ram Dass See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

1:11.0	and what that means to us and to everybody, which is Maharaji's teachings, a basic core teaching that was handed to us.
1:21.0	So also connected to that, we, in 1973, Ram Das and myself and my ex-wife, Parvati Marcus and Rameshwar Das and Paul Gorman

1:46.0	Thank you, Barbara, for that, her apartment.

1:52.0	So we were kind of glued to the TV looking at this spectacular procession of witnesses related to what went on with Nixon back then.
2:06.0	And of course, everybody knows the outcome and knows that story.
2:09.0	And it was an impeached president in the end.
