More quotes by Krishna Das
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
Bhakti yoga isn't something you join, it's love. It means falling in love.

The ultimate act of power is surrender.
Krishna Das
We are not separate. So if one being hurts, I also hurt.
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
When you fall in love, nobody has to tell you. You know what you feel.
Krishna Das

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

Krishna Das
As we do practice something unexpected starts to happen-we get happy!
Krishna Das
I chant to save my heart. Every time I sit down, that's what I'm doing.
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
Let's just chant and be good people, alright?
Krishna Das
Compassion is a college education. It's a doctorate.
Krishna Das
There is an eighth color that we don't have the sense apparatus to see or experience.
Krishna Das
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 Presence is our own presence. We are not getting anything from the outside. We already have all we need inside.
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.
