In his book Paths to God:
Living the Bhagavad Gita
Ram Dass writes
“It’s always just one thought away
The living spirit
The community of our consciousness
The guru within—
Whatever you want to call it
Is always just one thought away—
One thought!”
Gadgetry distractions abound
Joy in the present moment is just one thought away
Anger about to explode in the parking lot
Equanimity is just one thought away
Tempted to beat up on yourself
“You’re a Genius all the Time” is just one thought away
Tallying up someone else’s character defects
Loving-kindness is just one thought away
Negative habit energy comes knocking at the door
Conscious breathing is just one thought away
Tempest-tossed on the ocean of Samsara
“Gaté, gaté, paragaté, parasamgaté, Bodhi svaha!” is just one thought away
A cloudy drowsy day for zoning out
Sri Anandamayi Ma is just one thought away
