Chanting is the main thing in my life.
KRISHNA DASChanting is the main thing in my life.
KRISHNA DASJust the slightest turn toward the inside is a very big thing.
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 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 DASThe Presence is our own presence. We are not getting anything from the outside. We already have all we need inside.
KRISHNA DASOn the Path, it’s impossible to know how you are doing because it’s the judger who is disappearing.
KRISHNA DASThere is an eighth color that we don’t have the sense apparatus to see or experience.
KRISHNA DASDevotion is a disease. And you catch it from those people who have it.
KRISHNA DASWhen our desires are fulfilled, and we still feel unhappy – this is the moment we begin the process of letting go.
KRISHNA DASI chant to save my heart. Every time I sit down, that’s what I’m doing.
KRISHNA DASDon’t wait for a Guru. Your life is your Guru.
KRISHNA DASWe 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 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 DASWe are just here, right? We are just people doing our thing. And the most important aspect of anything we do is our motivation, why we do it.
KRISHNA DASWe are not separate. So if one being hurts, I also hurt.
