"If I go into the place in myself that is love, and you go into the place in yourself that is love, we are together in love. Then you and I are truly in love, the state of being love. That's the entrance to oneness. That's the space I entered when I met my guru."
- Ram Dass
Love
"You are loved just for being who you are, just for existing."
- Ram Dass
Love
"The most important aspect of love is not in giving or the receiving: it's in the being. When I need love from others, or need to give love to others, I'm caught in an unstable situation. Being in love, rather than giving or taking love, is the only thing that provides stability."
- Ram Dass
Love
"If you think you're free, there's no escape possible."
