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.

As we do practice something unexpected starts to happen-we get happy!
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
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
Image
Don't wait for a Guru. Your life is your Guru.
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
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.

When you fall in love, nobody has to tell you. You know what you feel.

There is an eighth color that we don't have the sense apparatus to see or experience.
Krishna Das
Image
We are not separate. So if one being hurts, I also hurt.
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
The ultimate act of power is surrender.
Krishna Das
Image
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
Image
I chant to save my heart. Every time I sit down, that's what I'm doing.
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.

Compassion is a college education. It's a doctorate.
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
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.

Bhakti yoga isn't something you join, it's love. It means falling in love.
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.
