Ram Dass on Instagram: "When I start thinking, “I’m Ram Dass, and I’ve worked on myself, and I’m supposed to be equanimous, loving, present, clear, compassionate, accepting,” oftentimes I get tired, I get angry and petulant, and I close down. For a long time, I’d get into those states and I would feel really embarrassed because that isn’t who Ram Dass is "supposed" to be. So I would appear like I was warm, charming, equanimous, compassionate, and there were deviousness and deception involved.
