Ram Dass

Be here now

Be Here Now · 1971

Be here now. The title was given, not invented. Before leaving India, Ram Dass was told that Maharaji had given his ashirvad — his blessing — for the book. He asked what an ashirvad was, and what book. He had not planned to write it. Be Here Now is Maharaji’s book. The instruction is so simple it keeps being missed. Not later, when you are improved. Not in a better room. Here. The one you are already in. Now. The only time that has ever been available for love.
