Be here now. was the message Baba Ram Dass brought back from his visit to India. He went there as Dr Richard Alpert and came back as Ram Dass, with a radically altered view of himself. The ancient wisdom that he found there dated back to Krishna and Arjuna. ” there is you and there is the field you find yourself in. getting to know the field you are in becomes a journey through that field but as you go you forget about you, The journey has to start with remembering and beginning to know the knower of the field”
A rough translation from a passage in the Bhagavad Gita where Lord Krishna is explaining to the warrior prince. Arjuna, who and where he truly is. Practicing being present in the here and now allows awareness of the being, the observer, the knower, to become more manifest in the field which is time and space itself. Beyond time and space lies the ever present Now, that is where our beingness resides and that is the true destiny of all beings.
