More quotes by Krishna Das
When we start to talk about gurus, we're talking about beings who actually know what this is all about. They know who we were, where we came from, and where we're going. They are not imprisoned in a selfish or self-centered view of the universe.
Krishna Das
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.
Krishna Das
Chanting just hits you and you want to be a part of it. That’s the point of this whole thing. That’s what cuts through all the ‘stuff’. You get lit up. You don’t have to know what it means.
Krishna Das
Letting go does not mean pushing away or negating thoughts or feelings that come to us - but instead being with the feeling. We start to feel that we are no longer victims of the stuff that happens to us. There is something we can do about it... if we just take a look at it.
Krishna Das
Don't wait for a Guru. Your life is your Guru.
Krishna Das
Hanuman not only gives liberation, he also fulfills our beneficial desires.
Krishna Das
It's inexplicable why somebody can lose a leg and it doesn't effect them at all emotionally and another person can lose a foot and be destroyed for the rest of their lives.
Krishna Das
Just the slightest turn toward the inside is a very big thing.
Krishna Das
The heart is like a mirror. When we dust it off, we are able to see ourselves. The dust is all our stuff - guilt, anger - this stuff is reflected back to us. Practice removes the dust from the mirror of our hearts.
Krishna Das
There is an eighth color that we don't have the sense apparatus to see or experience.
Krishna Das
As we do practice something unexpected starts to happen-we get happy!
Krishna Das
The presence of real love in the world inspires me.
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
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
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
We are not separate. So if one being hurts, I also hurt.
Krishna Das
The heart in us is deeper than any emotion or psychological issue.
Krishna Das
I chant to save my miserable ass. That's what I do.
Krishna Das
Compassion is a college education. It's a doctorate.
Krishna Das
The Presence is our own presence. We are not getting anything from the outside. We already have all we need inside.
Krishna Das
