Ram Dass Quotes about Nature

  • Nature is really important because it's a manifestation of love that hasn't been run through human minds.
  • You and I are the force for transformation in the world. We are the consciousness that will define the nature of the reality we are moving into.
  • After meditating for some years, I began to see the patterns of my own behavior. As you quiet your mind, you begin to see the nature of your own resistance more clearly, struggles, inner dialogues, the way in which you procrastinate and develop passive resistance against life. As you cultivate the witness, things change. You don't have to change them. Things just change.
  • I don't really believe anything I say. Because the nature of my work concerns the spaces between the words, rather than the words themselves.
