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.

More quotes by 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
Compassion is a college education. It's a doctorate.
Krishna Das
Until you are fully enlightened, you can never know what another person's reality is like for them.
Krishna Das
The presence of real love in the world inspires me.
Krishna Das
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
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
I didn't know what I was looking for, but I knew whatever it was that I was looking for was real.
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
There is an eighth color that we don't have the sense apparatus to see or experience.
Krishna Das
Bhakti yoga isn't something you join, it's love. It means falling in love.
Krishna Das
Don't wait for a Guru. Your life is your Guru.
Krishna Das
You can’t think yourself out of a box that’s made of your thoughts.
Krishna Das
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
You can never really know what a guru is as long as you are imprisoned by your own thoughts and circular ego.
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
I chant to save my miserable ass. That's what I do.
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
Hanuman not only gives liberation, he also fulfills our beneficial desires.
Krishna Das
Let's just chant and be good people, alright?
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.
