THEN there’s Baba Ram Dass, who isn’t at all alarmed about the energy crisis.
It’s not because he drives a Volkswagen. Or lives simply. But rather, in his words, because, “There is no crisis of energy. The whole universe is energy. We have available to us all the energy in the universe.”
Ram Dass is the former Richard Alpert of Harvard University. There, with Timothy Leary, and later, on his own, he experimented many times with LSD and other mind-expanding drugs. In India, several years ago, he met his guru and began to study yoga. His book, Be Here Now, is a spiritual autobiography and “cookbook” for the sacred life.
