Is not Love, Compassion, the deeper Truth of All Spirituality?
Compassion is bringing our deepest truth into our actions, no matter how much the world seems to resist, because that is ultimately what we have to give to this world and one another.
-Ram Dass
Namaste

Ram Dass, formerly known as Richard Alpert, was a long time friend of Timothy Leary and advocate of the use of powerful hallucinogens like LSD. He went to India looking for spiritual truth but took massive doses of acid while he was on his quest. His writings, while popular with the counter culture, don't really have anything new in them. You can find all his sources in Buddhism, Hinduism, turn of the century spiritualism, and liberal Judaeo/Christianity.
For those that think we just critique fundamentalist remember, skeptics examine everything.

Ram Dass is definitely right on. God is LOVE - and we are little pieces of it. It is our true nature to spread love around. I'm grateful that Ram Dass was able to speak it so beautifully.
Namaste!!

in the beginning it particularly is God, acceptable noun. God would not purely provide you what you go with by way of fact you want for it, he's no longer a genie. you may desire to truly have faith in him without sarcasm by way of fact he's a loving and jealous God, He desires to be your purely one without exception. to supply you an occasion say a Husband and a spouse are having marital matters and deep down interior they go with to artwork it out. They shouldn't assume to discover an envelope on the line with B&B, action picture and Dinner passes. No particularly God might in all probability deliver them closer by way of a disaster of variety that they might want to call upon one yet another and the super distinction of Gods love. this sort they advance from the challange and are available decrease back at the same time. no one particularly is familiar with how Gods infinate and infaluable know-how works, it particularly is why he's a God. you're particular in a manner you haven't any longer yet got here upon and by way of faith and devotion you will rapidly discover out the way you're particular. It sounds corny yet provide interpreting the Bible a attempt, pass on your library and grab a replica of the hot American Bible (pupil version in the event that they have it) and examine the e book of John for starter. this is a best broker so which you comprehend the thoughts are incredibly internet site turners. Say a rapid prayer asking God to supply you the know-how to discover your solutions in the Bible. in case you do settle directly to verify extra please do no longer run off and connect a "mom & Pop" church, attempt an older faith (2000 years previous or extra) like the Catholic Church (Apostolic Sucession).

Well, I think when we start to "walk our talk" per se, then our lives are in total alignment. It is one thing to believe something, and it is another altogether to back those beliefs with action. If we have committed ourselves to truth, there is nothing more beautiful and compassionate than acting upon it.

Yes, Compassionate love is deepest truth.
Initially one has to dive in it and get fully drenched in it. Thereafter it bubbles out and reveals itself.
Its a simple secret of knowing God.
With love
