It’s only when caterpillarness is done
that one becomes a butterfly.
That again is part of this paradox.
You cannot rip away caterpillarness.
The whole trip occurs in an unfolding process
of which we have no control.
~~ Ram Dass, Be Here Now
Ram Dass / Richard Alpert;( April 6, 1931, born in a Jewish family) is an American spiritual teacher and author of the book – “Be Here Now” . He traveled IndiaIn in 1967 and visited guru Neem Karoli Baba who gave Alpert the name “Ram Dass”, which means “servant of God”.
And this process is quite essential and desirable too to enable that caterpillar to grow into a beautiful and energetic butterfly. The same theory is applicable to human-beings too. Own efforts are a must (without external help) to grow into a self-confident and competent individual.
