A FREE 3-day Online Retreat Featuring Ram Dass, Sharon Salzberg, Jack Kornfield, Krishna Das, Trudy Goodman, and Mirabai Bush
"In the West, surrender implies giving up power. But surrendering to a guru or the Beloved doesn't mean giving power to another human being - it's letting go of the stuff that keeps you separate. Each time you surrender, it leads you further in, deeper into yourself. You surrender to that place in yourself that takes you beyond form."
- Ram Dass, Be Love Now
As you search to discover the unconditional love in your life that you've felt within through various experiences with more enlightened teachers, you come to realize that the potential of intimacy with the beloved already lies within you. The level of connection between a teacher and a student is dependent on a basic grounded friendship and openness. That relationship is profound in its ability to create a space from which you can access your deepest truth.
Developing a compassionate heart allows you to not only develop a less judgmental and more caring space for yourself and for others, but it is also the foundation from which you can see the interconnectedness of all sentient beings.
