KRISHNA DASYou cannot think your way out of a box made of thought.
KRISHNA DASUntil you are fully enlightened, you can never know what another person’s reality is like for them.
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.
KRISHNA DASGrace removes obstacles that we don’t even know are there. Grace is what arranges our lives so we are forced to look within.
KRISHNA DASChanting is the main thing in my life.
KRISHNA DASLet’s just chant and be good people, alright?
KRISHNA DASThe heart in us is deeper than any emotion or psychological issue.
KRISHNA DASThe only real protection will come from doing a spiritual practice over a prolonged period of time. Because it retrains us to see the world and ourselves in a different way.
KRISHNA DASAll we can know is our own subjective version of reality. That’s the way we go through our lives. Everybody.
KRISHNA DASThe Presence is our own presence. We are not getting anything from the outside. We already have all we need inside.
KRISHNA DASDon’t wait for a Guru. Your life is your Guru.

KRISHNA DASTo love somebody is to let them be who they are and do what they have to do.
KRISHNA DASYou can’t think yourself out of a box that’s made of your thoughts.
