Quote

Chanting is a way of getting in touch with yourself. It's an opening of the heart and letting go of the mind and thoughts. It deepens the channel of grace, and it's a way of being present in the moment.

Just the slightest turn toward the inside is a very big thing.
Krishna Das

Don't wait for a Guru. Your life is your Guru.
Krishna Das

We have to learn to love people even if they are not giving you what you want... and then not take it personally. If you feel hurt, you have to recognize that they are not hurting you because you are you, but because they are them. You have to try not to be so hard on yourself.
Krishna Das
Image
One of your biggest lessons so far in life has been to learn to forgive myself over and over again and not to be so harsh with myself.
Krishna Das
Image
We are so programmed to feel that our emotions are the most important thing in the Universe...We write, produce and act in the story of me. And then we write reviews - and read them and get more depressed. All we can do is let go, and that comes from training. And then we spend less and less time in the darker spaces.

The heart in us is deeper than any emotion or psychological issue.
Krishna Das

If you stub your toe, you don't need to dialog yourself to be good to your foot, do you? When you see things that clearly, there's no dialogue or emotional manipulation that you need to do to extend compassion to that being, because that being is a part of you, and if that being hurts, you hurt.
Krishna Das
Image
When you meet your guru or a being who knows, who is no longer loving, but has become love, a being who is sitting in truth, and in compassion and kindness for all beings - you know. When I met my guru, I knew. And it was before I met him physically, actually.
Krishna Das
Image
When you fall in love, nobody has to tell you. You know what you feel.
Krishna Das

You can never really know what a guru is as long as you are imprisoned by your own thoughts and circular ego.
Krishna Das
Image
This is what I do to keep my head screwed on semi-straight and keep my heart open. Whenever I sing, that's why I sing. Whether it's at the Grammys, whether it's in the bathroom, whether it's in front of 10,000 people or three people, by my guru's grace, my head stays in that place.
Krishna Das
Image
The Presence is our own presence. We are not getting anything from the outside. We already have all we need inside.
Krishna Das
Image
Ultimately when I am with you all, what I see is my Guru. And what is he? He is love.
Krishna Das
Image
As we do practice something unexpected starts to happen-we get happy!
Krishna Das
Image
Grace removes obstacles that we don’t even know are there. Grace is what arranges our lives so we are forced to look within.
Krishna Das
Image
I didn't know what I was looking for, but I knew whatever it was that I was looking for was real.
Krishna Das
Image
I'm reconnecting, I'm deepening, I'm opening, I'm releasing negativity and negative thoughts and all the limitations I carry around with me - again and again and again and again and again and again. And again! And that's the only thing that keeps me alive.

Until you are fully enlightened, you can never know what another person's reality is like for them.
