SoulPod Satsang Listening Party + Meditation – Ep. 290 – The Balance Between Emptiness and Compassion
“So we’re talking about the balance between emptiness and compassion. We’re talking about the balance between control with the mind and boundless love with the heart. I’m just giving you the balances or tensions that you and I, as human species, play with. We’re dealing with the tensions between ourselves as separate entities, with ego structures and bodies and so on, and ourselves as part of one thing that has no separateness at all.” – Ram Dass

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.
