When we start talking about g...

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 47 quotes

We all inhabit our lives, in ...

We all inhabit our lives, in different ways to some degree. We see ourselves a certain way, and based on how we see ourselves, that's how we see the world.

Krishna Das 47 quotes

Surrender happens by Grace. All we're doing is cleaning up the room so when Surrender walks in, He can sit down.

Krishna Das 47 quotes

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 47 quotes

Bliss is easy, just take a drug. What is hard is feeling good about our real selves.

Krishna Das 47 quotes

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.

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 47 quotes

I knew that if I did not star...

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.

Krishna Das 47 quotes

Unlimited inner strength can only be awakened when it is in the service of Love....When we align ourselves with that love and act in service of that love, anything is possible.

Krishna Das 47 quotes

You can't manipulate a heart ...

You can't manipulate a heart open. You can only allow it to open in the right circumstances.

Krishna Das 47 quotes

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 47 quotes

Practice is not about how you feel while you are doing it. You are planting seeds.

Krishna Das 47 quotes

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 47 quotes

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 47 quotes

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.

Krishna Das 47 quotes

Devotion is a way of being, it's not something you do. It's dedication to finding awareness and Love. Chanting is like asanas for the mind and the heart.

Krishna Das 47 quotes

Grace surrounds us and holds us like the sky holds everything in it … and as soon as I find a way to let go of my story, I keep seeing over and over again that grace is always here and it includes the forgetting and the remembering. The practice is the opening of the hand to catch the raindrops, which are always falling. If you don't open your hand, you get wet, but you don't get much to drink.

You cannot think your way out of a box made of thought.

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

Krishna Das 47 quotes

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.
