Summary

Ram Dass answers questions from the audience on the predicament of Grace and Karma- the predicament of judging- the predicament of social responsibility. Also same sex relationships and the relation to divinity. “Only when you are honoring the plane on which it is all totally perfect just the way it is, can you assume on the other plane the responsibility to change it; recognizing that the desire in you to change it is part of the perfection of it all."

of different media. Not just Ramdas talks, but Ramdas with many of his other friends and

teachers. Now that we can actually get some, what's called metadata, where we can actually

see where this was, where the event happened and when it happened and who was involved

1:19.4

and so on, it's pretty great. And then to see these dates, I love the dates because then

1:25.5

you go, you think, okay, what was I doing at that point in relation to Ramdas? And

1:32.9

incisive questions and answers. And the first one is around the predicament of judging,

accepting and rejecting. And this is something I myself could hear over and over and over.

2:26.4

I don't know about you, but just, you know, you walk around in the world anywhere you go and

2:33.4

you can witness your mind doing, I mean, the level and the amount of judging. Maybe it's
