Ram Dass – Here and Now – Ep. 219 – Death of the Guru

In this powerful recording from 1974, Ram Dass talks about dealing with the death of his guru, working with the concept of dharma, and connecting to our inner wisdom and intuition.

In this episode of Here and Now:

  • Ram Dass talks about receiving the news of the death of his guru, Maharajji, and how he reacted to it
  • He tells stories of Maharajji, reflecting on the complex nature of his guru and the feelings he experienced while in his presence
  • Ram Dass explores working with the concept of dharma
  • He talks about the importance of trusting our hearts and connecting to our inner wisdom and intuition, or the guru within

“And every now and then, my mind would float away to, ‘Far out, Maharajji died.’ And I’d experience him saying to me, ‘Just attend to your business. Cut out all that melodramatic crap. Just do your thing.’ I was looking to get into a little self-pity place, you know, ‘Oh, God, Maharajji!’” – Ram Dass
