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 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 DASUntil you are fully enlightened, you can never know what another person’s reality is like for them.
KRISHNA DASAll we can know is our own subjective version of reality. That’s the way we go through our lives. Everybody.
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 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 DASWe are not separate. So if one being hurts, I also hurt.
KRISHNA DASYou can’t think yourself out of a box that’s made of your thoughts.
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 DASEven if somebody tells us something, the hit, the light goes on inside of us, not out there. We learn and understand everything within ourselves.
KRISHNA DASIt takes two to tango! I need everybody to sing with me.
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 DASDevotion is a disease. And you catch it from those people who have it.
KRISHNA DASCan you imagine what it would be like to all of a sudden see another color that nobody else sees?
KRISHNA DASThe heart in us is deeper than any emotion or psychological issue.
KRISHNA DASI chant to save my miserable ass. That’s what I do.
KRISHNA DASBliss is easy, just take a drug. What is hard is feeling good about our real selves.
