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.

More quotes by 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
Until you are fully enlightened, you can never know what another person's reality is like for them.
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
I didn't know what I was looking for, but I knew whatever it was that I was looking for was real.
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
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
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
When you fall in love, nobody has to tell you. You know what you feel.
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
You can’t think yourself out of a box that’s made of your thoughts.
Krishna Das
As we do practice something unexpected starts to happen-we get happy!
Krishna Das
On the Path, it’s impossible to know how you are doing because it’s the judger who is disappearing.
Krishna Das
We are not separate. So if one being hurts, I also hurt.
Krishna Das
Grace removes obstacles that we don’t even know are there. Grace is what arranges our lives so we are forced to look within.
Krishna Das
The presence of real love in the world inspires me.
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
I chant to save my miserable ass. That's what I do.
Krishna Das
Compassion is a college education. It's a doctorate.
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 love in this world, and it lives within us as who we really are, not who we think we are.
