I love my guru, but what the fuck does he know

 Ram Dass: The Universe of Compassion – Here and Now Podcast Ep. 231


Hi everyone


I would like to touch on the topic of compassion from the perspective of a person for whom loving the world and people was something completely natural.


Most of the spiritual gurus talks about awakening to compassion, discovering the web of interconnectedness and how powerful an influence we have on each other. And I have to say that to me this is definitely nothing new, I've known and felt it since I was very little, and the training of giving attention, space and understanding while I was doing nothing else for most of my years, raises my anger. 


I think completely different teachings could bring me closer to wholeness. Women's experiences in the world shows that our path to freedom should rather be led by recognizing our separateness and respecting boundaries. 


Ram Dass's teachings, while incredibly noteworthy and wonderful, are still the words of a privileged man, a man with a PhD from a prestigious university, with extraordinary opportunities for advancement and widely respected. They have no chance to take into account the burden, tiredness and and futility of the efforts of people affected by inequality.


I would like to see and hear about such path from the mouth of an experienced, conscious and empowered woman or an experienced man if he gets the major perspective or came out of adversity with an open heart. 


And no more love and compassion. It is not always the truth and liberation. It deviates from experience of humanity that majority of us have and I wanted to express that here.
