Invitation Message
’ When I don’t know who I am, I serve You, When I know Who I am, I am You’
— Hanuman to Lord Ram
Remembering Baba Ram Dass, 2021
We, at Emerge have deeply realised and received the virtue, goodness and grace which has been bestowed upon us by getting and bathing in the light of love, knowledge and wisdom from Baba Ram Dass and Neem Karoli Maharaj.
Baba Ram Dass left his body and this physical plane of reality on the 22nd December 2019, but
where could he go? Psychological time is a thought, and date is a measure.
Death is just another chapter closing in a book, all we need to do is to rest in our Souls, and then it all becomes part of the Leela, the Divine Manifestation.
Baba Ram Dass says that Death is not a failure of science, but a natural inevitable step in this journey of consciousness.
It will be 2 Years of Him leaving this plane, but he has always been here. We get so lost mourning and crying and thinking of what has gone, but what needs to be understood deeply is what has remained, and what shall remain.
Ram Dass is not the body, Ram Dass is not a thought, Ram Dass is Love, Ram Dass is awareness, and awareness never dies. It is right here, so what can we do, than to remember what is true in this moment, and about this moment.
Some of the things are continuous in life, but body can’t continue, matter can’t stay in its form, impermanence is true. And then what stays is eternal. That’s where Ram Dass resides, and that is within you, there is no difference between you and Ram Dass, Ram Dass is you.
On this journey of meeting Ram Dass in body, in thought, in awareness, we invite you to join us, on a journey of finding yourself, and in Remembering Ram Dass, remembering that our Action lies where Love is. Where there is no subject object duality.
We invite you, and ourselves, to be in love and to the Tribute Event, hosted by Emerge in association with Sacred Community Project on 22nd December 2021, to come and be part of the one, for that is all there is.
Please note that the timings of the event are mentioned in Indian Standard Time.
