The presence of real love in the world inspires me.
KRISHNA DASThe presence of real love in the world inspires me.
KRISHNA DASUnlimited 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 DASChanting 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 DASBliss is easy, just take a drug. What is hard is feeling good about our real selves.
KRISHNA DASIf I had been born in Germany with family of Nazis and if I had been raised with those beliefs, there was very little chance that I wouldn’t be exactly like all those guards and all those people who tortured everybody.
KRISHNA DASChanting 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 DASThis 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.
KRISHNA DASOne 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 DASThe Presence is our own presence. We are not getting anything from the outside. We already have all we need inside.
KRISHNA DASWe instantly believe everything we think. Isn’t that insane? It’s good for us to explore the depravity of our minds, so we know we are just as crazy as everyone else!
KRISHNA DASIt’s within your world that things will unfold and intuitive understandings will open up.
KRISHNA DASI just try to keep my heart open. By this, I mean to try not to let my own programmed reaction to things keep me closed down for too long.
KRISHNA DASAs we do practice something unexpected starts to happen-we get happy!
KRISHNA DASDevotion is a disease. And you catch it from those people who have it.
KRISHNA DASI 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 DASReal compassion is not emotional. Real compassion is based on the experience that all beings, which might appear separate, are actually a part of my own body, and I am a part of the body of the universe. We are not separate. So if one being hurts, I also hurt.
