“Beyond the roles and the scripts and the fleeting fascinations of life, there is a deeper current.”
— Ram Dass
Simplified Meaning:
In life, we often play different parts and follow certain rules, kind of like actors in a play. We take on various roles, like being a student, a parent, or a friend, and we go through phases where we are interested in different things, like hobbies or trends. But beneath all these changing parts and interests, there is something more meaningful and steady. For example, think about a river. The surface has waves and ripples that change all the time, but deep down, the water flows smoothly and steadily. This deeper current is like our true selves, our core values, and the things that really matter to us. If we understand and focus on this deeper part, we can lead a more fulfilling life, even when everything on the surface keeps changing. So, when life feels chaotic or shallow, it helps to remember what truly matters to you and stay connected to it.
