Ram Dass's guru taught him that when overwhelmed by suffering, one loses balance and one's actions can no longer relieve suffering; the path is to 'become that being that can bear the unbearable' through developing the capacity to witness suffering while maintaining soul awareness.

Ram DassEvidence Quote
“he just said to me ramdas don't you see it's all perfect...what I saw in years in reflection was that he was reminding me that I had lost my balance and that when you lose your balance you put in a position where your actions no longer can relieve the suffering [1:11:00]”
