The repetition of the holy names reveals a presence hidden within the heart. Something begins to happen that's very disturbing - we get happy.

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.

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.

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.

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.

On the Path, it’s impossible to know how you are doing because it’s the judger who is disappearing.
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

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 chant to save my heart. Every time I sit down, that's what I'm doing.

Just the slightest turn toward the inside is a very big thing.

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.

The heart in us is deeper than any emotion or psychological issue.

Until you are fully enlightened, you can never know what another person's reality is like for them.
