Ram Dass

We treat love and hate and other emotions like they are all on the same level, but they're not. Hate, fear, lust, greed, jealousy - all that comes from the ego. Only love comes from the soul. When you identify with your soul, you live in a loving universe. The soul loves everybody. It's like the sun. It brings out the beauty in each of us. You can feel it in your heart.
-Ram Dass, Polishing The Mirror (p 119)
