“What can be more obvious, intellectually, than, ‘You are going to die but you don’t know when?’ If we didn’t know that anyone in this room was going to survive the end of this podcast, that we might be dead before the end, how would it change the way we were loving each other?” – RamDev
“I find that light is your guru. Your guru meets you as you die.” – Ram Dass
