Quote

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.

Don't wait for a Guru. Your life is your Guru.
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
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.

Hanuman not only gives liberation, he also fulfills our beneficial desires.

I chant to save my miserable ass. That's what I do.
Krishna Das

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.

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.
Krishna Das

The Presence is our own presence. We are not getting anything from the outside. We already have all we need inside.
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.

The presence of real love in the world inspires me.

As we do practice something unexpected starts to happen-we get happy!
Krishna Das

We are not separate. So if one being hurts, I also hurt.
Krishna Das
Image
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
The ultimate act of power is surrender.
Krishna Das
Image
If you stub your toe, you don't need to dialog yourself to be good to your foot, do you? When you see things that clearly, there's no dialogue or emotional manipulation that you need to do to extend compassion to that being, because that being is a part of you, and if that being hurts, you hurt.
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.
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

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

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

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.
