Be Love Now: The Path of the Heart Hot

Be Love Now, The Path of the Heart by Ram Dass is the completion of the trilogy that began with Be Here Now and Still Here. The book is an autobiography, spiritual guidebook, and study of saints and spiritual guru rolled into one. Formerly known as Richard Alpert, Ph.D., Ram Dass was a professor of psychology at Harvard until 1963 when he was fired for his unauthorized experimentation with psychedelic drugs. On a personal quest to understand human consciousness, Alpert traveled to India where he met an Indian guru whom he came to know as Maharaj-ji, and from that moment Ram Dass felt a new sense of love that he had never known before.
“When I was first with Maharaj-ji, I experienced such bliss and love that all I wanted to do was just be around him and rub his feet. As time went on, that love kept growing, but became different, until I started to feel just as fulfilled being at a distance from him.”
From this deep, unconditional love, Ram Dass learned that love is a state of being that is part of our evolution of consciousness. In this book, he shares with his readers how this new way of thinking and feeling changed his life, and how it can change ours.

In the closing chapters, Ram Dass introduces the reader to a series of saints and inspirational teachers, and explores their lives of devotion and the love they shared with the world. The foreword by Rameshwar Dass, co-writer, long-time friend, and fellow spiritual seeker, is a moving recollection of the myriad ways that Ram Dass has influenced a generation of people looking for spiritual enlightenment.
The pages of the book are rich with the sentiment of unconditional love and each chapter gives a moving spiritual message, which although steeped in Eastern philosophy, is more relevant than ever to our contemporary Western lives. Whether you are a follower of Ram Dass, or you are seeking your own path to spiritual awakening, this book will assist you on your spiritual journey.

Be Love Now is a fascinating book that depicts one man’s journey to enlightenment. Author Ram Dass (with help from Rameshwar Das), shares the knowledge he has gained along his spiritual path through soulful stories, profound teachings and personal anecdotes. From meeting his spiritual teacher/guru unexpectedly, to becoming a teacher himself, Ram Dass tells his story in such a way that provides the reader with lessons that may be used on their own spiritual voyage.

Be Love Now is the third book of an enlightening trilogy, (following Be Here Now and Still Here) that illustrates love as a state of being instead of an emotion, and is the key to reaching our full spiritual potential. Ram Dass is an exceptionally intuitive writer with a style that demonstrates his love and compassion for all beings. He has a way of touching the reader’s soul through his insightful words, and inspires them to open their spiritual hearts to truly “be love”.

This book is one that I will treasure for years to come. With a profound message and inspiring wisdom, Be Love Now is unlike anything I have ever read. At times I found myself reading and re-reading portions to better understand and process the wisdom it holds. I will definitely be reading this book again as I continue on my own spiritual journey in hopes that I continue to open my spiritual heart.
