Love, Service, Devotion, and the Ultimate Surrender: Ram Dass on The Bhagavad Gita
A Heart-Centered Spiritual Classic for Your Ever-Changing Life
The Bhagavad Gita is a gem so precious in India's spiritual treasury that many regard it not as a volume of sacred verse, but as a living manifestation of the Divine. In the summer of 1974, inside a balmy Boulder, Colorado, warehouse that served as the main hall of the fledgling Naropa Institute, some say that a minor miracle occurred: the reawakening of the Gita's living presence, as it unfolded in a series of wisdom teachings led by Ram Dass. With Love, Service, Devotion, and the Ultimate Surrender, you are invited to experience these legendary gatherings.
The tale of the warrior Arjuna and his divine friend Krishna serves as metaphor for the recurring dilemmas that we encounter as we spiral into the depths of our spiritual journey. In these sessions, Ram Dass illuminates the Gita’s essential verses with insights spanning many traditions, from Rumi's ecstatic poetry to Basho's koans, from devotional chant to monastic silence, from Sri Ramana's self-inquiry to Saint Paul's devotion to Christ.
The destination? A new perspective on the crucial moments of contradiction and questioning that all spiritual seekers must face again and again: If it's all Divine perfection, why bother with the search at all? Is it possible to awaken without a teacher or guru? Why am I experiencing these strange spiritual "gifts”? Will I get lost in their power? If I'm conscious and kind, why not indulge in all of life's pleasures? Since everyone suffers and dies, will my compassion ultimately matter?
With irrepressible love and intellect (and a good dose of skillful mischief), this epic meeting with Ram Dass yields new answers with every revisit, like a lifelong friend that comes to meet us at each turning of our journey.Highlights:
A 12-hour odyssey with Ram Dass into his timeless Yogas of the Bhagavad Gita Naropa sessionsThree ways to enter the wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita
• Karma yoga—reincarnation, dharma, service, sadhanas
• Jnana yoga—inquiry, the critical mind, the koan
• Mind, illusion, and Brahman

Charlie Chaplin once said, "what do you want a meaning for? Life is a desire, not a meaning."
On Quantum mechanics, Robert Oppenheimer wrote, "If we ask, for instance, whether the position of the electron remains the same, we must say 'no'; if we ask whether the electron's position changes with time, we must say 'no'; if we ask whether the electron is at rest, we must say 'no'; if we ask whether it is in motion, we must say 'no.'"
Psychology demonstrates how motivation effects perception. Karma tasks us with working within the desire system, faced with being unattached to the ego as a doer. To do work in the world in an impersonal way, and not to feel threatened by fear or driven by shifting meanings of desires (called passionate desire).
Jana Yoga is the practice of discriminating real from unreal. Service, giving and love can only be performed via desire. Pure desires bring us closer to God, passionate desires/fears attach us to ego. This discrimination directs the electrons of our being.
On detachment, outing attachment: karma is dharma; in other words, what we must work out in this life, is precisely the obstacles and experiences we face. If the inner ego (I/me/mine desires/fears) win (external win/lose, don't matter), that obstacle/experience is faced all over again in this life or the next. The inner ego is extricated only when we remain detached from the obstacle/experience/dharma. This is how we work out our karma. We remain a non-judgmental witness to all happenings.
Divinity is indivisible: Faith, no fear; fear, no faith (can't have both: only to the One, or to the many). Faith is being grace. Being a non-judgmental witness is loving union against and amongst the human condition. Finding unity in diversity. What we think is wrong, what we know is Real. Aldous Huxley grasped at absolute, unchanging Truths via perennial philosophy - "I Am" and "God is" - all else is transitory.
Giving it up to get it: paradoxically, when a method works, we must give it up to move on to the next stage. We don't pray because repentance is liberating; we don't meditate because the still mind is bliss -- these are methods to unite with the Lord of Love ("not my, but Thy will, O Lord") O father, O son <-- holy trinity: it's all the same: no matter which way you go --> pleasure, pain; loss, gain; fame, shame: it's all the same: atop a bridge above water in flow is how and where we can watch our ego-selves go. If you don't have a sense of humor, it's just not funny.
Matthew 16:24-27: "If anyone wishes to come after Me," says Christ, "let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me. For he who would save his life, will lose it; but he who loses his life for My sake, will find it. For what does it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, but suffer the loss of his own soul? ... For he who would save his life, will lose it. But he who loses his life for My sake, will find it."
The spirit is between and beyond moral law and social responsibility. The awakening struggle is comfortably and confidently facing conflicts with social/cultural norms, and transcending both via higher consciousness. The difficulty manifests from the model of oneself by means of standing outside of oneself. Cultural/social training via institutional education is about getting data/action-points from the outside-in rather than the inside-out. Culture and ego work full-time to preserve themselves.
Going against what we previously believed to be right — leads to deeper harmony, negative issues are easy, going against positive issues are the paradoxes. go perpetually keeps us caught in who we thought we were. Anywhere we cling is going to cost. Doesn’t have to be given up all at once, but all attachment will eventually have to go. The discipline to not be caught in any patterns whatsoever, is the discipline to stand nowhere. Over time, meditation will lead to freedom from one’s own thoughts. Active memory is only but a small part of our entire internal consciousness. Get out of the active and into the inactive: slower is clearer.
Ways of dharma: do what we are most inclined to do (follow where God leads); go to where we feel most draw to (not attaching degrees of importance); live out the nature of our being; take everything God gives evenly (that is, by not comparing to anything else). See the relations between forces of nature and action; by listening deeply, we can begin to realize what part of God we are (what role we play in the whole dance-drama of life); there’s no better or worse, only different.
On the theme of karma yoga Gandhi think: (1) result to follow; (2) means thereto; (3) capacity for it - equips one to work without desire for the result (wholly engrossed in task) = how to renounce fruits of one’s action. On working within the desire system: being attached to the doer, but aware of systematic functionality (doing work in an impersonal way) Jana Yoga: discriminating real from unreal. Working with intellectual faculties (levels of the mind) - going inward rather than outward, understanding via internally, not externally. This is a sensing of understanding from inside, which cannot be performed via intellect. Theravada Buddhism: purification, concentration, correct understanding.
What desire do you use to give up all desires? The desire of sacrifice to return to one’s roots The end of all sacrifice is that of spiritual wisdom: learn it all, then give it all up. Practice offering all thoughts into a mantra. Truth is the hardest austerity to maintain. Let manifestations manifest as they are supposed to. Acts don’t change, but meanings and persons doing acts do change. Developing the witness: quiet and observe the mind; doesn’t matter what’s being done, the state of mind and being (attitude) matters.

I cannot get enough of Ram Dass!!!!!!
May 2, 2022
Quality stuff, meaningful lectures. For some reason they would cut Ram Dass off mid-story and move on to something else, which I wasn't a fan of. I also didn't agree with his take on Ahimsa.
October 27, 2023
This is only available as an audio, which is a shame because for stuff like this, I love having a printed copy to underline and write on. But listened to this early mornings running on the beach. I love Ram Dass. Different from "Paths to God."

“A man may be born, but in order to be truly born, he must die. And in order to die, he must first awake. When a man awakens, he can die. And when he dies, he can be born” (Ram Dass).
In relation to dying/death in our society, Ram Dass says: “we have used chemicals to reduce the pain, but they’ve also reduced the consciousness of the individual. And it becomes more apparent that what is needed is incredible clarity of consciousness at the moment of death” (Ram Dass).
“A doctoral dissertation was completed at the University of California-Berkeley that demonstrates that: people who have taken psychedelics or people who have meditated for over three years are significantly different from any other subculture in the population regarding their anxiety about dying. That they have less anxiety about dying than anybody else in the whole society” (Ram Dass).
In regards to psychedelics Ram Dass says:
“The reasonable thing to do about things that alter human consciousness is to educate people, not police them. You can license and educate them, you don’t prohibit stuff. You respect other beings right to alter their own consciousness”.
“Nobody owns anything, we’re just working with energy” (Ram Dass).
“The only reason you get angry at somebody is because you have a model of how you think it ought to be, other than the way it is” (Ram Dass).
“In the presence of a being that’s totally non-violent in makeup, there is no vibration that you’re putting out which freaks another entity, that is vibrationally oriented” (Ram Dass).
“Snake knows heart” (Maharaj-ji).
“Sometimes it’s good to keep your mouth shut about what you’re doing and The Gita reminds us that a couple of times. Don’t lay the trip on people that aren’t ready to hear, the game is to become your trip so much that people will just come at you”(Ram Dass).
“A woman once came to Mahtma Gandhi with her little boy. She said: ‘tell my little boy to stop eating sugar’.
‘Come back in three days’ said Gandhi.
In three days the woman and the little boy returned and Gandhi said to the little boy: ‘stop eating sugar’.
The woman asked: ‘why was it necessary for us to return after three days for you to tell my little boy that’?
Gandhi replied: ‘three days ago I had not stopped eating sugar’ (Ram Dass).
“Someone asked Maharaj-ji:
‘How do I know if a person is my guru’?
Maharaj-ji said: ‘Do you feel that he can fulfill you in every way spiritually? Do you feel that he can free you from all desires and attachments? Do you feel he can lead you to final liberation? When you feel all these things, perhaps then you’ve found your guru’” (Ram Dass).
“The guru is not external, it’s not necessary for you to meet your guru on the physical plane” (Maharaj-ji).
“Attachment is the strongest block to realization” (Ram Dass).
“Until you are free, let all of your work of life be a sacrifice. You serve to relieve suffering wherever you find it, even until you are free, but until you are free it is all an exercise designed to bring you freedom, so that you can become the dharma. So that every act you perform is the optimum act to relieve suffering. Because that’s what conscious entities are doing here, cause there’s nothing else to do” (Ram Dass).

Love, Service, Devotion is not a book to rush through — it is a book to sit with.
Ram Dass has a way of speaking that feels less like instruction and more like companionship. His teachings don’t tell you who to become; they gently remind you of what you already know, but may have forgotten beneath striving, pain, or self judgment.
What I appreciated most is the steadiness of his voice. There is no urgency here. No pressure to “fix” yourself or reach enlightenment. Instead, he returns again and again to the same quiet truth: that love, service, and devotion are not ideals to perform, but ways of being, lived moment by moment, imperfectly and honestly.
Many of his quotes stopped me in my tracks. I found myself writing them down, carrying one at a time with me, letting it meet me where I was that day. This is very much a book where different lines will speak to you at different moments in your life.
If I’m honest, there were sections that felt repetitive but I came to see that this is intentional. Like meditation, the repetition is the teaching. You don’t move forward in a straight line; you spiral, deepening your understanding each time.
This book will especially resonate if you are:
navigating inner change
learning to soften without disappearing
exploring spirituality without dogma
seeking meaning that feels embodied, not performative
It isn’t dramatic or sensational. It’s quiet wisdom. The kind that settles into you slowly and stays.
I didn’t finish this book feeling “transformed” I finished it feeling more at home in myself. And that, to me, is the highest praise.

Five stars for the library, the Libby App and Audiobooks.
Ram Dass is no longer on this plane, but while he was here he was a teacher, a great storyteller, if not a brilliant writer.
He lived such a large and full life on earth that there are hundreds recordings of his stories and teachings. He held meetings and protests and retreats over DECADES. So imagine being treated to a 12 hour course on his expert topics: Love, Service, Devotion and Surrender.
I personally find Ram Dass extremely soothing. His voice, his jokes, his wisdom all calm me and make me less worried about LITERALLY everything.
So yeah, I had a good time.
Will you?
I don't know man. I'm not recommending this, because if you aren't in it you aren't gonna wanna listen to this old dead hippy yap.

Ram Dass by name, Ram Dass by nature. As insightful, compassionate, educative and inspiring as ever. Excellent. Highly recommended. I would give this an 11 out of 10 “ This is Spinal Tap” style if I could ;)
January 21, 2026
A great take on a book I wouldn't understand very well otherwise. I appreciate these lectures and their insights, reminding me that, regardless of how I may feel about "this" or "that" view, there is clearly so much more to the journey I'm on that I am accustomed to recognizing.
September 25, 2019
I've enjoyed everything I've heard by Ram Dass.
October 2, 2019
My favorite Ram Dass
July 3, 2022
Lovely teacher, especially on audio! He really knows how to take the pressure off while advocating a spiritual life.
November 21, 2022
Beautiful
May 13, 2025
Beautiful lectures and reminders that - on the path of being - all we’re trying to do is witness, draw awareness to, and alleviate suffering however we can.
July 2, 2025
An authentic and touching collection of insights and wisdom. There is a lot to learn from the soft-spoken and charismatic guru that is Ram Dass. 5 Stars.
August 21, 2014
This is only peripherally about the Bhagavad Gita, which is why I gave it two stars. It contains many of Ram Dass' standard stories, which are very enjoyable, but except for the first session or two virtually ignores the Gita in favor of his stories. For that reason, I found it disappointing on many levels.
March 20, 2013
At first I felt like Ram Dass was straying pretty far from the Gita. Then I realized that he was merely taking it off of the page and out into life. Isn't that what we all would like to do?
April 5, 2020
Beautiful book. An absolutely must read for a spiritual seeker.
(However not for someone who wants to read verse by verse Bhagwat Gita)
It covers spirituality in general.
Again mesmerising book.
