Ram Dass Quotes About Meditation

Quotes about: Meditation

• Meditation means to be constantly extricating yourself from the clinging of mind.

  No separation anywhere.
  Pure awareness.
  Neither this, nor that.
  Just clarity and being.

This is when you will need not only faith, but persistence.
