How to Stop Addictions - A Short Cut

Ram Dass: I've had strong addictions to food. The first place i began to intervene was when monindra, my meditation teacher, said, ram, don't you see that? It's just old carma running off. And what i have watched is the patterns of my obsessions and addictions have changed overtime. But yet i didn't deal with them directly, head on, for the most part. Don't worry about the addiction. It will fall away when it will fall away. When you do it again, just notice it. You know, i'm so gentle with myself.
