Ram Dass

The Game of Balance and Liberation

Nothing goes under the rug. We can't hide in our highness any more than we've hidden in our unworthiness. If we have finally decided we want God, we've got to give it all up. The process is one of keeping the ground as we go up, so we always have ground, so that we're high and low at the same moment - that's a tough game to learn, but it's a very important one. So at the same moment that if I could, I would like to take us all up higher and higher, we see that the game isn't to get high - the game is to get balanced and liberated.

- Ram Dass, excerpt from Grist for the Mill: Awakening to Oneness
