“The elegance of karma yoga is, the very act you do to help another person is simultaneously the act you’re doing to work on yourself. Like, I am helping you now, at some level, but this act is my work on myself. Because the clearer I get, the better my help is for you. So I’m serving as an act to work on myself; I am working on myself as an act to better serve you. Can you see how the circle works? Can you see the elegance of that?” – Ram Dass

[1:00:44] "If you're busy being somebody, you can't hear who other people think they are 'cause you're too busy trying to make them be who you need them to be to be who you think you are." Yeah that was very wise. :D

It's doing every act with impeccable intention, with everything that you do. Be kind, help others do your best and have impeccable intention.

[lovingyou]

The new intros the lesser intros are appreciated.
R efforts are appreciated.
The rambling intros, and hearing everything Ram Dass is going to share before he shared it was so boring.

[troyortego]

it's so interesting and bless his heart, but those who know don't say... yet it's a blessing for us for him to discuss it... hopefully it just gets us all to breathe in the now...
