When you fall in love, nobody has to tell you. You know what you feel.
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.
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
We are not separate. So if one being hurts, I also hurt.
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
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
Image
Ultimately when I am with you all, what I see is my Guru. And what is he? He is love.
Krishna Das
Image
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
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.

Image
Compassion is a college education. It's a doctorate.
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
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
You can’t think yourself out of a box that’s made of your thoughts.
Krishna Das
Image
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
Bhakti yoga isn't something you join, it's love. It means falling in love.
Krishna Das
Image
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
Image
The presence of real love in the world inspires me.
Krishna Das
Image
Until you are fully enlightened, you can never know what another person's reality is like for them.
Krishna Das
Image
The ultimate act of power is surrender.
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.
