Ram Dass is the co-founder and advisory board member of the Seva Foundation ("seva" means spiritual service in Sanskrit). This entity supports international service programs.

His writing is perhaps best known for the book, Be Here Now. More than forty years since its first publication, it still stands as a highly-accessible Western view of Eastern philosophy. It encourages humans to evolve attune to infinite joyin the present moment. In the self-development genre, this book remains a key reference forspiritual seekers.

Ram Dasshas long been fascinated with the soul journey. Even since his near-fatal stroke back in 1997, the after-effects have not prevented him from continuing to explore consciousness. Although paralyzed and suffering from expressive aphasia (limiting his ability to speak), he continues his healing path and also inspires people withhis writing.

Among Ram Dass' essays, he effectively shares his personal experience of rediscovering God and soul. Each individual is evolving to reconnect with true nature. Its a very subjective thing. Consider these five ideas to reach deeper into your authentic self;

1) Realize your soul history and core identity have no start and no end.

2)Accept awareness defies words; you are everything/ nothing, nowhere/ everywhere.

3) Explore your notions of separation, alienation, detachment in relation to suffering.

4) Overcome the mind's conditioned mindsets and attachment sin the physical world.

5) Reclaim your universal connection to undifferentiated awareness.
