Becoming Nobody

I love Ram Dass to begin with, I've listened many of his old talks and watched the movie, Going Home as well. His humor, humbleness, his honesty about his own journey, openness about his own feelings and thoughts make you feel much closer to him and relate to as well. He is not preaching, as he says in the movie, he just tells his story like a close friend and a beautiful soul, so that we can see and discover the truth and the path to freedom in ourselves.

Although there a few things that would better not to take place in the movie, first being the producer's long talks that even outtalk Ram Dass most of the time and the clips that cause so much distraction that it becomes harder to concentrate on what Ram Dass is saying (that's why I've closed my eyes and just listened him most of the time), I still found the movie really beautiful and meditative.

I've just finished watching in the middle of the night in silence and it made me cry so much and I felt his presence in my heart. For me he was not a "perfect being" or a "saint" or a "guru", he was a beautiful human being who has gone through more or less the same journey and difficulties as all of us, has never played a role of a "guru" and has always been open about it with his humbleness and humor. I really love him and although I think the movie could have been better, I still loved it and would definitely recommend everyone to watch it.

The world has so much to learn from his love, compassion, beauty, humor and humbleness.

I'm glad for having the chance to know you Ram Dass.

Namaste.
