More quotes by 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
Ultimately when I am with you all, what I see is my Guru. And what is he? He is love.
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
On the Path, it’s impossible to know how you are doing because it’s the judger who is disappearing.
Krishna Das
Hanuman not only gives liberation, he also fulfills our beneficial desires.
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
Until you are fully enlightened, you can never know what another person's reality is like for them.
Krishna Das
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
Just the slightest turn toward the inside is a very big thing.
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
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
I chant to save my heart. Every time I sit down, that's what I'm doing.
Krishna Das
The heart in us is deeper than any emotion or psychological issue.
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
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
I didn't know what I was looking for, but I knew whatever it was that I was looking for was real.
Krishna Das
The ultimate act of power is surrender.
Krishna Das
You can’t think yourself out of a box that’s made of your thoughts.
Krishna Das
When you fall in love, nobody has to tell you. You know what you feel.
Krishna Das
There is an eighth color that we don't have the sense apparatus to see or experience.
