This episode of Here and Now is from a talk in Melbourne, Australia, in 1981.
Ram Dass begins with questions about surrender, astrology, the renounced mind, and Meher Baba. He speaks about how the best teachers only want you to get free and why it might be useful to spend some time on the astral plane.
Ram Dass responds to questions about how to enjoy letting go of anger, homosexuality, and the illusion of separateness. He tells stories of his time in India, touches on the concept of dharmic anger, and explores the importance of tuning to one’s own heart.
Ram Dass finishes the Q&A session with queries about evil, love, and using hallucinogenics on the spiritual path. He talks about relative reality versus absolute reality, the art of social action, and why there are no rules in the game.
“Once you are without anger, then you can get really angry. I mean, there’s nothing more beautiful than dharmic anger.” - Ram Dass
About Ram Dass:
Ram Dass’s spirit has been a guiding light for generations, carrying millions along on the journey. Ram Dass teaches that through the Bhakti practice of unconditional love, we can all connect with our true nature. Through these teachings, Ram Dass has shared a little piece of his guru, Maharajji, with all who have listened to him.

The intro’s have grown on me. I appreciate your interpretations and insight, I find that they provide some context that most of us wouldn’t have known or thought of! :)
Same!
Me too!! People often judge in the comments, but as ram Dass would say, “eat it like it is”
I have come to see the whole introduction debate now as cosmic irony being played out in a slightly humorous way, as we each see everything so differently based on our individual lens of perception. Thank you to all who share their unique perspectives on how they view things, and thank you to all who make these podcasts happen, and for the introductions too, as they help set the tone. Love to all who read this, and all who don't, as we continue our journey into self discovery.🙏💚
I so appreciate your gracious approach to address "the opposite of fan mail." I've seen comments like that and I'm always bewildered why listeners in our community take the energy to give that message when it takes far less energy to just move the red dot a few minutes in to the start of the lecture. We certainly aren't forced to listen to the intros, and so many of us appreciate what you and Ragu bring.
Imagine Ram Dass contemplating the ad-free version and clowning the idea of ads as missing the point of it all.
Ram Dass approves this message /hj
I think it makes sense to fund the people doing work to make these talks available for free - just not monetizing it exorbitantly. (No one should be buying mansions off of Ram Dass' work but it makes sense for those who contribute to be able to feed themselves.)
Ram Dass himself had a very big home in Maui.
@@ShimmerBodyCream he did?
I also struggled with intro’s when I first found these amazing talks. I used to skip past all the time but then I would listen to a few here and there. I now find the intro’s valuable as I get to know the hosts a bit more. Thank you for sharing these teachings 🙏🏻
I enjoy the beginning portions, they shape the rest of the experience.
For those wanting to jump forward, 5:56 .
Thank you, friend! 🤍🎉
~Namaste~
Thank you! 🙏🏽💜🙏🏽
I much prefer hers. She is sweet and to the point. The 15 min intros are way to much.
❤🙏
Love how we have to put a price tag on everything especially help with your spirituality
More talking about the retreats I'm very blessed and thankful for these teachings
capitalism is practically the air we breathe
@@dnbjediBecause it’s as natural as trading bread for salt. Trading skill and time for symbolic value (currency). A warm handshake at the end ❤
Energy exchange. Ram Ram
@@Skeptgeo3 did the Buddha ask his listeners and devotees to pay and subscribe for his programme? Don't think so 😅
6:07
Thank you, there are times when I just want to hear the lecture!
❤
I’ve been doomscrolling today on TH-cam, getting upset about what’s going on in the world today, and this video popped up about five times. I finally said to myself Okay fine if this video comes up one more time I’ll watch it. Well, it popped up again. Me: sigh , “okay Ram Dass I’ll stop and watch the video.” ❤
hey be here now much love and thanks for sharing
I used to resent the intros, especially when i was on a roll and binging
and now for some reason, i’m okay with them.
What a privilege, truly and I thank you.
Bless your souls. Thank you for bringing these teachings to us. Through your dedication to spreading these teachings, I have gotten to know Ram Dass on the soul level, and I can't thank you guys enough for bringing it to us.
Love the intros. Extra credit
Thank you Jackie! 🙏
✨💜✨. Divinely timed and needed. Love your podcasts and I’m definitely team ~ “intro love.” 🫶
Your openings are informative, incite full and your voice is soothing.
No your rong
I love the intros ❤its not difficult to fast forward, they are integral to the format of the ram dass pods on the network, here on yt. I personally think people need to chill their beans 🫠
Thank you all for bringing this to us 🫂
I should imagine that for those who find the introduction irritating… those friends are still maybe tethered to their egos… an expectation that “we need to get on it” as if there were anything to get on to. Every moment of irritation is an opportunity for reflection. In the moment of “now” there is nothing a person need do. We are already “on it” in the moment. Live in the now… there isn’t a then and when. Just plain ol now. Namaste 🙏🏻 friends.
Yeah just as those who ask for money to watch a video they have received free from ram dass
heyyyyyy jackieeeeee. I've listened to so many intros w/ you. Its cool to see you finally! I pictured you as an italian lady that cooks reallllly good pasta. *_*
Don't worry about the intros. It is very easy to skip. I listen to the intros for more details on the time and place of the talk mainly. Don't sweat it. Don't read the comments. Bring the heat with your intro and let it go.
Thank you!
❤ I've watched this several times now..obviously it's got good stuff in it
I didn’t originally like the intros, but they’ve grown on me. I especially appreciate the part about Ram Dass referencing being bi and you guys posting this during Pride Month
Love it, thank you for sharing
12:33 lady asks RD about the shape of the crucifix. He responds after a moment of silence with “I have nothing innovative or interesting to say about that” … interesting she would ask that after RD was talking about Revelations being another astral melodrama. And even weirder reply. Just some observations.
25:20
Pertaining to Morality in Orthodox Christianity?
Very confusing reply to that as well.
25:20 RD says rules of morality apply to those not yet enlightened in said tradition. Those who are truly awake, fully embrace the karmic flow without need for strict guidelines yet set them up for those who have not achieved said state of being yet in order to prevent them from creating more karma.
id have loved to hear him say something about Jesus in that moment... :/
Fierce Grace ❤
Does anyone else look at the view count and roll their eyes at the world?
O_o
Putting Ram Dass behind a paywall isn't very Ram Dass :-)
ramramramramramramram
Like the intros ((:
@@pinkifloyd7867 lots of supporting friends here supporting their friends who seem to dislike those intros :D in the end intro, no intro - does it really matter? :D
Let’s also remember that it’s ok to be white. It’s ok to be straight. 🙏🏾
It’s ok to be
what about having surplus of sexual intimacy with one partner we are not much strict but still committed in this relationship i wonder how to find balance and especially how to teach him a lesson about attachment and not deviate from dharma
❤🙏
LMAO..I got angry at the woman speaking at the beginning of Ram Das talk😂
How funny Ram talks extensively about seperateness and you guys have groups that highlight and celebrate seperateness and you dont even realize this fact 👍 😋 very hilarious 🤣
Everybody has some separateness which needs to be accounted for and recognized. It is our humanity. Coming together with other beings on a similar path helps further one’s connection, though it appears to be counterintuitive when misunderstood.
Love the intros and appreciate you Jacqui and Ragu. Thank you for all you do to spread love, joy, light and the message of our beloved Ram Dass. ❤️🙏❤️
Gatekeepers ever since he passed... Did you guys see they were selling a pencil case with some be here now pencils for like $50? What a joke, Ram Dass originally sold the book for $3.33, even now it's only about $20. Talk about dharmic anger 😂
Have you heard of the term inflation?
That’s beautiful
Why have all these diversity groups for different categories of people if the message is were all one? Shouldnt we need to stop seperating ourselves into different boxes and instead start welcoming groups into one shared space, the world we live in? Theres no reason why lgbts or minorities cant just ride with the rest of us, right? I have a hard time seeing how this is aligned with ram dass's teachings. But Seems to me, longer we keep seperating, the longer we stay divided. It also seems to me, that the gift of having your very own safe space would be greatly overshadowed by the gift of acceptance into a shared common space. Lastly, It seems that would be even further overshadowed by knowing that permission simply isnt needed anyway because were all right here regardless. All living as different expressions of the same whole, and with the same beautiful creator alive within us and around us. Just a thought
It's pronounced, Mel-BURN -
Sincerely- A Melbournian.
Love how she's like yeah I know you hate these opening introduction .. they make ya angry lol .. well please pay to NOT receive them lol 😂
Capitalizing on everyones spirituality is the actual devil
Oh my god you guys are such drama queens ,you can skip ahead 10 minutes and there you have the full lecture,but you are so attached to your money and your entitlement that the concept of not having everything served to you is an insult to your persona ,just let go
In other words line my pockets and I will shut up. Or just find ram dass elsewhere and avoid the ramblings of a fool
Always Love the intros 🤗Bless You all at "Love Serve Remember " and Be Here Now 🫂🫂
Is he free? Am I free? Is that my choice?
