More quotes by Krishna Das
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
Until you are fully enlightened, you can never know what another person's reality is like for them.
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 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
Ultimately when I am with you all, what I see is my Guru. And what is he? He is love.
Krishna Das
I chant to save my heart. Every time I sit down, that's what I'm doing.
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
We are not separate. So if one being hurts, I also hurt.
Krishna Das
Compassion is a college education. It's a doctorate.
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
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 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.
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
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.
Krishna Das
You can’t think yourself out of a box that’s made of your thoughts.
Krishna Das
The presence of real love in the world inspires me.
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
Hanuman not only gives liberation, he also fulfills our beneficial desires.
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
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.
