    Has anybody here seen the documentary Fierce Grace. Its about Ram Dass, the american yogi and his life and spiritual journey.
    I love to see it as I have got a few of his book and they are really interesting.

    Cheers

    Yep, I've seen it. It was very well done, in my opinion.

    I got Fierce Grace the other day off ebay.
    I found it to be very interesting and moving. Ram Dass came across as a humble and kind man which I always feel is the sighn of a true spiritual person.
    Worth watching IMHO.

    First you be

    then u see
    that everyone
    is Maharajji

    There is a really beautiful funny simple astounding yet no biggie plane of reality where
    Everywhere is love, everybody loves you unconditionally,

    And according to Baba, in order to be free, be liberated, get enlightened, one must serve everybody and feed everybody

    So through a BEING serving Baba and feeding baba, who is everybody, we become free of attachments that keep us from Sat-Chit-Ananda (being-awareness-bliss)

    And we serve through all kinds of ways, yet we must BE, work on ourselves (sadhana or spiritual practice, like guru kripa, being a presence, for the best service you can do is remember god, and love everyone, feeding them through your VIBE!

    and it's really great to help out on the material plane too, doing whatever you can do. The key is listening to what is in line with guru.

    The slow and gentle river towards it, the cosmic joke of it is, that there is no struggle, for all we have to do is Remember; Be Here Now. It is all his Leela, divine comedy show!

    We can BE there!

    And you dance you little dance, play the game, and fulfill your dharmic role.

    "It is not necessary for you to meet your guru on the physical plane. The guru is not external." - Maharajji

    "Whether the disciple does sadhana or not, whether one is deserving or undeserving, guru kripa sets aside all normal laws that operate in the spiritual plane and takes one to transcendental bliss..." - Swami Chidananda

    "Thus, there is no greater guru bhakti, there is no greater guru seva, there is no greater worship and adoration of the Guru than to become an embodiment of kindness, compassion and doing good to others. This is the greatest guru dakshina (gift to the Guru) also. This is the hallmark of discipleship." - Swami Chidananda


    For once you see
    what is meant to be
    that it is he (she) who holds the key
    and everyone will be free

    "Let there be peace on earth


    And let it begin with me

    Let there be peace on earth

    The peace that was meant to be


    [​IMG]


    With God as our Father

    Brothers all are we

    Let me walk with my brother

    In perfect harmony


    [​IMG]


    Let peace begin with me

    Let this be the moment now

    WIth every step I take

    Let this be my solemn vow


    [​IMG]


    To take each moment and live

    each moment in peace eternally

    Let there be peace on earthand let it begin with me"
