More quotes by Krishna Das
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
Let's just chant and be good people, alright?
Krishna Das
When you fall in love, nobody has to tell you. You know what you feel.
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
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
There is love in this world, and it lives within us as who we really are, not who we think we are.
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
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
I chant to save my heart. Every time I sit down, that's what I'm doing.
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
Until you are fully enlightened, you can never know what another person's reality is like for them.
Krishna Das
I chant to save my miserable ass. That's what I do.
Krishna Das
There is an eighth color that we don't have the sense apparatus to see or experience.
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
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
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
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
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
On the Path, it’s impossible to know how you are doing because it’s the judger who is disappearing.
