- An exploration of the basic questions for anyone attempting to do business in a conscious way. Is it possible to do business, make a profit, act in truth and integrity and be of genuine service all at once? In his presentation Ram Dass depthfully sheds light and answers questions on such topics as: role-entrapment, the "inner-game" of business, personal power, obsessions with "success", alienation, deepening the "bottom line," collaboration and competition, going beyond ego, the downsides of being successful, stress, change, and fear. A useful and heartful tool to anyone "doing business" in the world.

I've listened to Sadhguru, Alan Watts, E Tolle, and Ram Dass for about 3 years now just repeatedly listening to videos and taking notes in my journal. Their messages are similar, but Ram Dass delivers in a way that helped me gain my human compassion by looking up, but not forgetting to look down. To be free in form and realize that suffering is grace. Namaste to those that understand and also to those not yet ready. I love you!
Message understood, appreciated and reciprocated to you and all. Earth shift happily now💗
There are many levels of comprehension and I love how he covers that!!
Marzs loves you too Sean Casey ❤️🙏🏿
@Giorgi Tsiskarishvili Thank you as well i'm also going to look into it
@@iHardscope68 As long as you live in form you will suffer. I wish it were not true, but it is what it is.
The man who woke me up. Thousands of hours snuggled in my bed being consoled by him. My Guru forever🙏
It’s raining outside and I’m snuggling right now too :)
How good is snuggling. Just have to say
@Timothy Henricson you sound like you come from such a loving and compassionate place! Maybe look into buddhism, it might just dissolve all that suffering you evidently hold close to your heart my dear
I listen to his lectures at night often, just as you do. Such a calming, witty, and intelligent man.
doing the same exact thing right now :)
Bless you Baba Ram Dass. One of my only lights in a lifelong struggle through the darkness of depression.
Administration: Thank you so much for these lectures, free of advertising. We are blessed to have Ram Dass and his unique voice still and I am grateful 🙏
Very well said Heidi. No ads is a big pleasure. Great speeches by Ramdass
5AM and smiling as if I've found the blueprint to better living.
He is poser! Before being Ram Dass, he was richard Alpert a legitimate
truthseeker. He became too New Age. Popularity is a thief!
Gary, find your own path! :)
Gary, I'm not trying to piss on ram Dass . Trying to save you some time.
Read his book, "Be Here Now" its very good BUT that was before he became
a 'messiah'
@@fntime It really doesn't matter my friend. He's really neither of those things. He's just a spirit within a human experience- maybe what you might acknowledge as consciousness in a body. He's doing the best he can even if it's not up to snuff in your opinion. I'm sure he'd be the first one to tell you that he also considers himself a poser and a fraud. he would also tell you that he considers himself limitless other things. basically, he would rather be free then right.
@@john-carlosynostroza
Each to his own. I think you wrote a lot,
but said very little. :)
To sum it up, 'everything is everything'
Update?
1:10 ish. This is hugely important for where I am right now. I just lost my fiancé to a heart attack unexpectedly and on top of the grief I am swimming in stuff, debt, a small business and a house in the middle of a remodel I can’t complete. Pursuing “voluntary simplicity” will save me.
That’s a lot! I’m sorry for your loss and I’ve been there. Rest often.
@@paulagratefulnoend9683 excellent advice that I will share with those who face what we’ve faced. Grieving does need space and time and rest becomes essential. I sold the home to give myself and the business a break. I’m about to have 60 hr work weeks for probably a year (I’m lucky to love what I do) and only because I rested can I manage what’s next.
I met him one year ago today just before he passed. Amazing man, amazing light bearer. Thank you Ram Dass for all the love you brought to this world and beyond.
I wish I had. I imagined the meeting many times and it was always my going to him and saying "Tell me I'm good". I don't know why I felt that way but somehow his "Yes" would have somehow made everything alright. However knowing Baba he would have leaned in and asked "Are you?"
@@MikeGervasi He would have told you that you're already good Mike. You just have to open your eyes to see the love within your heart that's always been there. That's all that is or ever will be. You're an eternal being. You're made of love. Life is a series of experiences to recognize love in all its forms. We're all part of the I Am. Our separation is an illusion that we create to experience all that is. Remember. If that is your desire at this time in your experience.
That's amazing,you met him.I wish I could say the same.From Australia.😉
@@petermulvahill210 I thanked him for myself and all the people he's touched and the wisdom and love that he's brought to humanity. He gently put his hand to his heart, looked up at me and smiled, and whispered "Thank you" several times. He was a sweet humble being. I felt like I walked away with a little of him in my heart that night. I'll never forget that experience.
@@johnatyoutube That's lovely,thankyou for sharing that with me.
Commit to truth not consistency......absolute gold.
Truth is ever the most consistent ;')
like Plato: commit to beauty! what is good? mckenna said, "tricky tricky tricky" what is true? "tricky, tricky, even trickier." observing and reconizing beauty is the most personal and at the same time the only guide line for the oversoul
@@tinyrockyplanet8953 DCFG
Thats not
Essential pandemic listening. Baba Ram opens the lecture with a story about a successful couple who have the rug pulled out from under them. He suggests that most humans are playing an "external, socially accepted" role easily threatened by sudden events. This is perfect right now. Baba, thank you for your gift!! ❤️
🙏🏽
Nothing in this world really matters..I realized this after reading the Quran! May you find peace in life
This is an extraordinarily loaded talk by Dharmic Dick. I listen to Baba Ram frequently...he nearly always helps me see straight again and let go of the mask for a bit. If anyone is new to his beautifully clear, compassionate take on the game, there is so much to discover in this one talk. Thanks for posting this. You could listen to this 12 times consecutively and you'd pull a fresh troy ounce of guru gold out each time. Thanks be to the formless for communicating through such an awakened vessel.
I love that I just hit your 88th like..double infinity..♾
Lucidly expressed..echoes precisely for me,how Ram Dass' clarity encourages & creates lucidity in my own mind & delineates for me, what I know to be true (for me) & to which I gravitate to a greater sense of freedom & enhances my own mental acuity ...
@@tkofibali3022 i hit 99th like. just reporting the news.
@@tkofibali3022 isn't it crazy all the synchronicity one gets when being present 24/7 ? It's so freaking awesome
I am enough🌸🙏🌸
Dharmic Dick - LOL. took me a bit to figure that out.
Have heard this many times and it never fails to enlighten. He’s been part of my life for fifty years.
Rest in Peace, Ram Dass.
Thank you for everything
❤️

@@konrath85 you are
@@upstatenewyork you
I really love Guruji’s take on success. Even getting up out of bed for some people with depression is a mark of success. Success should always be relative to your situation; not egotistical ideals from a material world. How else can someone with £61M feel unworthy next to someone who is a billionaire ? Madness personified. Guruji’s teachings and spiritual awareness has made me, a humble, ordinary person feel like a billionaire - I am really really happy with my humble lot 😊🙏 love and blessings to everyone ❤✅
I'm almost ashamed to say I'm just finding & listening to Ram Dass. However I'm sure glad I have.. 🙏
"when the student is ready, the teacher appears"
Been going threw a lot spiritually and I have hope that things will get better for all of us godspeed
"Is your commitment to consistency greater than your commitment to truth?"
Thank you Ram Dass! R.I.P.
Your wisdom is a light in your talks, books, and beingness!
In stillness we are one! ❤️
Wow, ram dass is an incredible speaker.... Every time I listen, the level of captivation he demands is so much more than any other I've listened to. What a talent..
A side effect of success is boredom - beautiful observation. 22:14
Ram Dass is so Amazing with the words he speaks. An abundance of Wisdom. What a Blessing.
Ram Dass...thank you for sharing yourself with us! You are a beautiful teacher and I know my life has been so wonderfully transformed through your teachings! Sending my love!
the "HIPPY" guru.....
There is no self to share, he speaks about his life and stories too much.
Thanku Ram Dass keeping me company on a night shift ❤
I can't express my gratitude to you for sharing Ram Das videos. No words can possibly describe. Ram Das has encouraged me to embrace my human qualities and begin to help me love myself unconditionally. Beautiful man with a talent for weaving words with the thread of his beautiful light
He has been my mentor and guru for approximately 40 years
Now he has absolutely joined into my heart. I love him very much. I appreciate is most recent incarnation.
Awe Somely Divinely Inspiringly Enlightening Teachings
Thank You Beloved Spirit Brother Ram Dass ❤
Namaste 🙏
Ram Dass was so beautiful
Dragon Of The West correction. Is. He still Is
He still is !! The same thing come to my mind!!

If Ram Dass is in hell then none of us have a chance! I can’t worship a deity who would punish such a wonderful man with eternal damnation simply because he didn’t follow one belief system out of thousands. The concept of such a deity being the supreme ruler of the universe is laughably absurd.
I love Ram Dass. Love his message.
Ram dass is gone but he still lives on through his message and through each of us, the lost that he has helped find the path through the darkness. Love to all of you reading this, may your journey be one of happiness and love.
We at the channel feel that 1000% thank you for this meaningful comment

The molecule lured him in close, the guru brought him to truth.
👏👏👏
Beautifully spoken

I don't get it. What molecule?

So articulate. His words allow me to understand
The sound of this man's voice is so soothing. The pauses before he answer questions or continue continues on what conversation is such a Pleasant thing to hear. She truly thinks Of every single angle rebuttle or outcome before he speaks. It's truly amazing being and and at 45 years old to just stumble stumble across his existence existence is truly amazing in my life right now. I will forever be grateful. I've always looked up to his generation. Those guys were pioneers. I'm blessed to have so many of you old hippies as friends. Thank you so much. I'm forever grateful ✌️❤️💫🙏⚡️⚡️⚡️
I'm amazed how Ram Das is in a constant place of learning. Every day, is a learning experience. Learn/act instead of caught up complaining about having to constantly learn new things. All the while loosing "being" 1:21:57
My thinking mind is my servant - I love this!
This was profound. So many topics I needed to hear, explained so beautifully.
This is one of Ram Dass’ best lectures.
peace & blessings to all! 🧘🏻♂🍵👁👣🌳✌🏼🎤☀
Ram Dass perfectly explains why I love snowboarding and mountain biking at 43:05.

"...what I had wanted to do with muscle had been accomplished with love..." Wow, what a story...I was truly moved by it...so powerful 🔥 46:53 - 53:44
that was the most powerful bit for me too, I started crying with compassion for the poor drunk laborer ❤
@@indiabeatyt for sure...very moving 🔥

What a fascinating talk. How complex issues are explained admirably.
We at the the channel just think he is so amazing at that

don’t worry he hasn’t gone anywhere
only he ascended from form
Wonderful, Thank you!
R.I.P. Ram Dass thanks to ytube I can watch and listen to your wise words
This talk gets better and better and better and really worth the time. Ram Dass really knows
POWERFUL. THANK YOU
Ram...thank you for helping me awaken.....
i love every story he says, and especially the ending.

Fantastic lecture from a very conscious being
Thank you Ram Dass❤
36:00 "It was better than my brother; he used to call me: 'rammed ass'." LOL
Aw gawd what a projection from his brother... a bit creepy of him 😳😬to have done that 😄🤣😂haha I'm sure he had his reasons which Ram is well aware from his many different planes
@@ras_krystafari3333 ah yeeee
Rest in Peace, thank you
This speech is really special - touched my soul 4 real
“Voluntary Simplicity” ... less is more! Perfect. ;)
Simply phenomenal
53 minutes in & I’ve teared up twice.
This is so beautiful
"he's in total peace now, but he's also very quiet."
Helped me more than anyone
This is some of the most important insight I've ever heard.
As timely today as ever. As he said at the end (maybe in a different context or maybe as an inside joke), the sharpness of the listener's mind brings out different things in him. Repeated listens bear out the truth of those words.
Dorn Bishop I hear different things every time, i couldn't even tell you how many times I have listened to his videos and hear different things
Thank you. I've been struggling so much bc I've opened my heart and been hurt so much that i felt like things were unjust when those people won at worldly things. I have to remember that things can change for me at any point and i need to hope.
Indeed. We are all sisters and brothers. Other than the sick greedheads poisoning the well. Keep awakening them and the naive. Enjoy everyone every day.
I didn't want this to end ❤️
Ram Dass has such a psychedelic voice
Well he took a conciderable amout of them too 🙃
just priceless teachings and so truly engaging

This is an amazing and heart opening talk . Thank you so much for the push towards greater enlightenment.
Yes
Thanks!
Good stuff!
The description on this video makes me want to watch this. I find it interesting the idea of making a profit and being of service to all. Like Apple seems to promote going green etc and they seemed great. Now it’s like their phones are super expensive, still being in China while they promote being earth friendly and not telling customers where they source their materials from. I do think businesses need to not be fake or superficial. If they genuinely care about the earth then they should do a full circle analysis of everything, not just say they went carbon neutral. Haha it’s like what about the child laboring in the Congo to mine cobalt for batteries? Ya know haha we need more transparency or at the very least companies stop being hypocritical.
