RAM DASS: FIERCE GRACE -- ILLUSTRATED SCREENPLAY & SCREENCAP GALLERY |
|
[Ram Dass] I see him just as a, as a doorway towards God. A doorway. His consciousness was so playful with mine. It sucks you in. In India they have an expression, "God, guru and self are one and the same." He's just like my inner self. [Dr. Larry Brilliant, Co-Founder of the SEVA Foundation] The most common word that he ever said was "Ram," God's name, and the second most common was "Jau," "get out of here." And all the Westerners who would come to him, attracted like a magnet, he would always say, "Go away. Go away." No, I don't think he wanted anything ever from me or from any of us. We tried to give him things. You couldn't give him money. You couldn't do anything for him. There was nothing that he needed. [Ram Dass] All he wanted was for people to be liberated, to be free. One day Maharaji indicated that he would like to try LSD. And I didn't know that that was wise, because he was old, and I had strong pills. But then he knew everything. |
