these two faces radiate so much love to me. although i have never met either, neem karoli baba (maharaj-ji) and ram dass have changed my life. i know them through photos, recorded lectures & stories, and of course through the oneness they have revealed to me.
earlier tonight i was sitting outside in the dark on my back porch enveloped by the sweet smell of freshly-mowed grass when the air warmed & it began to rain. as the light sprinkle fell around me, the heat rose from the patio and the familiar smell of damped concrete filled my nostrils. i breathed in deeply. the rhythmic hum of the meditation music vibrated inside my chest & scrolling through photos of baba ram dass, i couldn't help but smile & quietly chuckle. after a few minutes, the drizzle steadied & forced me indoors but DAMN, what a lovely experience.
it's been awhile since i felt i had the capacity to acheive these stolen moments of ISness... but today something changed. for the past few years, i've had love for my guru yet i had no connection to the teachings or higher truth. occasionally i fought it, seeking purpose & intimacy with the Source; mostly, i ignored it. this morning i was compelled to take a bath & listen to some old podcasts. it was like a light suddenly came back on, and yet there was no tangible excitement. there was simply peace.
i'm in no hurry, but i plan to devour each recording of my guru. for me, they're mind-blowing. you may not feel the same, but why not give it a listen to see if your awareness expands?
