The heart in us is deeper than any emotion or psychological issue.
Krishna Das
Image
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
Image
Don't wait for a Guru. Your life is your Guru.
Krishna Das
Image
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
Image
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
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
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
Until you are fully enlightened, you can never know what another person's reality is like for them.

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
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
Image
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
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
Image
Ultimately when I am with you all, what I see is my Guru. And what is he? He is love.
Krishna Das
Image
When you fall in love, nobody has to tell you. You know what you feel.
Krishna Das
Image
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.

There is an eighth color that we don't have the sense apparatus to see or experience.

Image
Compassion is a college education. It's a doctorate.
Krishna Das
Image
You can’t think yourself out of a box that’s made of your thoughts.
Krishna Das
Image
Let's just chant and be good people, alright?
