Grace removes obstacles that we don’t even know are there. Grace is what arranges our lives so we are forced to look within.

Bhakti yoga isn't something you join, it's love. It means falling in love.
Krishna Das
Image
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

Whenever I'm really stuck, when I really need to go 'in there,' I sing the Chalisa and that connects me to Maharajji, to Hanuman, to that powerful presence that's deeper than any of that stuff. And, by touching that, I'm able to overcome whatever I'm stuck in...at least for 10 minutes.
Krishna Das
Image
I chant to save my heart. Every time I sit down, that's what I'm doing.
Krishna Das

The ultimate act of power is surrender.
Krishna Das

When we start talking about gurus, first of all we're starting to talk about something that can't be talked about, in the sense that you can never really know what a guru is as long as you are imprisoned by your own thoughts and circular ego. The true guru is someone who's transcended all that. And we don't know anything about that.
Krishna Das

When you fall in love, nobody has to tell you. You know what you feel.
Krishna Das
Image
Don't wait for a Guru. Your life is your Guru.
Krishna Das

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.
Krishna Das
Image
Hanuman not only gives liberation, he also fulfills our beneficial desires.
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.
Krishna Das

As we do practice something unexpected starts to happen-we get happy!
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.

Compassion is a college education. It's a doctorate.
Krishna Das
Image
The repetition of the holy names reveals a presence hidden within the heart. Something begins to happen that's very disturbing - we get happy.
Krishna Das
Image
I knew that if I did not start chanting with people, that I would never be able to clean out the dark corners of my own heart. I knew it with every cell in my body and mind.
Krishna Das
Image
The heart in us is deeper than any emotion or psychological issue.
Krishna Das
Image
There is love in this world, and it lives within us as who we really are, not who we think we are.
Krishna Das
Image
Let's just chant and be good people, alright?
Krishna Das
Image
The Presence is our own presence. We are not getting anything from the outside. We already have all we need inside.
