SoulPod General Satsang – Episode #283 – Your Karma Defines Your Dharma
And what you do is you just start flipping and taking what you’re given and start to work with it. In other words, your karma defines your dharma. That means what you got is what you work with. I mean, like, my baldness is my karma. I mean, it’s my genetics, it’s everything. Now, it becomes my dharma. Now, I can use it in order to become free of being bald, or being not bald, or whatever. – Ram Dass
Dear SoulPod Family,
Our next SoulPod gathering is this Tuesday, August 12th at 8pm EDT, and we’re diving deep into Episode 283 of the Here and Now podcast—a rich talk from 1992 that speaks to our current moment more than ever.
🌟Tuesday, August 12th at 8 pm EDT | 5 pm PDT
🌟Here and Now – Episode 283: “Your Karma Defines your Dharma”
🌟Hosted by Jackie
This episode weaves together so many of Ram Dass’ timeless teachings—on love, change, karma, and the art of awakening in the face of it all.
Your karma defines your dharma. What you’ve got is what you work with. – Ram Dass
Beginning with the wisdom of Sufi mystic poets, Ram Dass reflects on how our life circumstances become the very tools of our awakening. Whether it’s the changing body, political turmoil, aging, or heartbreak, we can meet it all with awareness—and use it all to love more deeply.
Themes we’ll explore together:
🌟Letting your life be your spiritual path
🌟Working with change—internally and in the world
🌟Aging, dying, and the opportunity in every transition
🌟Turning fear into freedom
🌟Loving even your judgments
We’ll refelct and share in the sacred company of others walking the heart path. You don’t need to be an expert on Ram Dass—just bring your presence, your questions, and your open heart.
“Each act becomes part of the awakening.”
Come sit in the circle with us.
With heart,
Jackie
General Fellowship Mission Statement
The general fellowship is dedicated to building community and connections around the teachings of Ram Dass and Maharaji. It provides opportunities to gather together – virtually and in person – to share our experiences, inspirations, curiosities, and wisdom, recognizing that we are all on the path of learning together. We use the space to celebrate and consciously practice the teachings – loving each other exactly as we are, sharing our authenticity and truth with kindness, remembering God is always here and present, and feeding each other, as we are all hungry for something and we all have something to give. We meditate and chant together, listen to Ram Dass lectures, and discuss as a group.
Everyone is welcome.
To register, sign up for the Ram Dass Fellowship, and check “General Fellowship” under the Fellowship Group Options. You will be added to the mailing list and will receive links prior to the event.
