When you live in love
You see love everywhere you look.
You are literally in love with everyone you look at.

Ram Dass
I would like my life to be a statement of love and compassion—and where it isn't, that's where my work lies.

Ram Dass
As you dissolve into love, your ego fades. You're not thinking about loving; you're just being love, radiating like the sun.

Ram Dass
Compassion is the basis of all truthful relationship: it means being present with love-for ourselves and for all life, including animals, fish, birds, and trees. Compassion is bringing our deepest truth into our actions, no matter how much the world seems to resist, because that is ultimately what we have to give this world and one another.

Ram Dass
Souls love. That's what souls do. Egos don't, but souls do. Become a soul, look around, and you'll be amazed-all the beings around you are souls. Be one, see one. When many people have this heart connection, then we will know that we are all one, we human beings all over the planet. We will be one. One love. And don't leave out the animals, and trees, and clouds, and galaxies-it's all one. It's one energy.

Ram Dass
Our interactions with one another reflect a dance between love and fear.

Ram Dass
In India when we meet and part we often say, "Namaste," which means: I honor the place in you where the entire universe resides; I honor the place in you of love, of light, of truth, of peace. I honor the place within you where if you are in that place in you and I am in that place in me, there is only one of us.. "Namaste."

Ram Dass
You are loved just for being who you are, just for existing. You don't have to do anything to earn it. Your shortcomings, your lack of self-esteem, physical perfection, or social and economic success- none of that matters. No one can take this love away from you, and it will always be here.

Ram Dass
Compassion and pity are very different. Whereas compassion reflects the yearning of the heart to merge and take on some of the suffering, pity is a controlled set of thoughts designed to assure separateness. Compassion is the spontaneous response of love; pity, the involuntary reflex of fear.

Ram Dass
You may protest if you can love the person you are protesting against as much as you love yourself.

Ram Dass
Maharajji told me, 'Give up anger and I'll help you.' I found
that love freed me back into the ocean of love and my righteous anger didn't do that. And I would rather be free than right.

Ram Dass
When someone we love dies, we get so busy mourning what died that we ignore what didn't.

Ram Dass
Unconditional love really exists in each of us. It is part of our deep inner being. It is not so much an active emotion as a state of being. It's not 'I love you' for this or that reason, not 'I love you if you love me.' It's love for no reason, love without an object.

Ram Dass
I look at you, and I see in you the yearning to get back to God. That yearning is love.

Ram Dass
If I go into the place in myself that is love, and you go into the place in yourself that is love, we are together in love. Then you and I are truly in love, the state of being love. That's the entrance to Oneness.

Ram Dass
When your mind is quiet, you enter into the flow of love, and you just flow from one moment to the next as naturally as breathing. Whatever arises, I embrace it with love in the moment. This is my practice of polishing the mirror to reflect love. In this moment there is just awareness and love. If someone asks me how to get into their heart, I give them this practice: I Am Loving Awareness.
