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

You can never really know what a guru is as long as you are imprisoned by your own thoughts and circular ego.
Krishna Das
Image
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.
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

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 Presence is our own presence. We are not getting anything from the outside. We already have all we need inside.
Krishna Das
Image
Don't wait for a Guru. Your life is your Guru.
Krishna Das
Image
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
Image
On the Path, it’s impossible to know how you are doing because it’s the judger who is disappearing.
Krishna Das
Image
I chant to save my heart. Every time I sit down, that's what I'm doing.
Krishna Das
Image
Bhakti yoga isn't something you join, it's love. It means falling in love.
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.
