“Now, though I am a beginner on the path, I have returned to the West for a time to work out karma or unfulfilled commitment. Part of this commitment is to share what I have learned with those of you who are on a similar journey. One can share a message through telling 'our-story' as I have just done, or through the teaching methods of yoga, or singing, or making love. Each of us finds his unique vehicle for sharing with others his bit of wisdom. For me, this story is but a vehicle for sharing with you the true message. . . the living faith in what is possible.”—from Be Here Now
In 1970, Ram Dass' Be Here Now  became the counter-culture bible for thousands of young people seeking enlightenment in the midst of the darkness of Vietnam. It was a pioneering bridge, written in colloquial language, from the psychedelic 60s to eastern spirituality, and over the years has sold and continues to sell more than two million copies.
Now in an e-book edition, Ram Dass' message is brought to life for a new generation of seekers. This will be a beautiful digital edition of this classic and enlightening book.

Quotes

  • Amy Sapanhas quoted5 years ago
    Silence.
    And I’d say, “How long do you think we’re going to be on this trip?”
    And he’d say, “Don’t think about the future. Just be here now.”
    I’d say, “You know, I really feel crumby, my hips are hurting . . .”
    “Emotions are like waves. Watch them disappear in the distance on the vast calm ocean.”
    He had just sort of wiped out my whole game. That was it—that was my whole trip—emotions, and past experiences, and future plans. I was, after all, a great story teller.
    So we were silent. There was nothing to say

    Where am I??
    Here! What time is it? Now!
  • Yokosquawhas quoted7 months ago
    In a worldly sense, I was making a great income and I was a collector of possessions.
    I had an apartment in Cambridge that was filled with antiques and I gave very charming dinner parties. I had a Mercedes-Benz sedan and a Triumph 500 CC motorcycle and a Cessna 172 airplane and an MG sports car and a sailboat and a bicycle
