Ram Dass Love Quotations

Your problem is you're... too busy holding onto your unworthiness.

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

If you think you’re enlightened go spend a week with your family.

Let's trade in all our judging for appreciating. Let's lay down our righteousness and just be together.

You are joy, wisdom, peace, compassion, and love

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.

When we see the Beloved in each person, it's like walking through a garden, watching flowers bloom all around us.

Working on our own consciousness is the most important thing that we are doing at any moment, and being love is a supreme creative act.

When you are in the presence of unconditional love, that is the optimum environment for your heart to open, because you feel safe, because you realize nobody wants anything from you. The minute that heart opens, you are once again letting in the flow. And that flow is where you experience God.

We're fascinated by the words--but where we meet is in the silence behind them.

Consciousness equals energy = love = awareness = light = wisdom = beauty = truth = purity. It's all the same trip.

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.

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

I remember my first visit with my guru. He had shown that he read my mind. So I looked at the grass and I thought, My god, hes going to know all the things I dont want people to know. I was really embarrassed. Then I looked up and he was looking directly at me with unconditional love.

The greatest thing you can do for another being is to provide the unconditional love that comes from making contact with that place in them that is beyond conditions, which is just pure consciousness, pure essence. That is, once we acknowledge each other as existing, just being here, just being, then each of us is free to change optimally. If I can just love you because here we are, then you are free to grow as you need to grow.

You can't build joy on a feeling of self-loathing.

Being in love means seeing the Beloved all around me.

I love everybody and they, in turn, love everybody, and that's spreading love heart to heart to heart. That's my approach of my work.

The most important aspect of love is not in giving or the receiving: it's in the being. When I need love from others, or need to give love to others, I'm caught in an unstable situation. Being in love, rather than giving or taking love, is the only thing that provides stability. Being in love means seeing the Beloved all around me.

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

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

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

Love is the most transformative medicine For Love slowly transforms you Into what psychedelics only get you to glimpse.

Being in love, rather than giving or taking love, is the only thing that provides stability. Being in love means seeing the Beloved all around me.
