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 DASThe 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.
KRISHNA DASUltimately when I am with you all, what I see is my Guru. And what is he? He is love.
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 DASWhen you fall in love, nobody has to tell you. You know what you feel.
KRISHNA DASLet’s just chant and be good people, alright?
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 DASJust the slightest turn toward the inside is a very big thing.
KRISHNA DASThe heart in us is deeper than any emotion or psychological issue.
KRISHNA DASPractice is not about how you feel while you are doing it. You are planting seeds.
KRISHNA DASIt’s within your world that things will unfold and intuitive understandings will open up.
KRISHNA DASBliss is easy, just take a drug. What is hard is feeling good about our real selves.
KRISHNA DASYou cannot think your way out of a box made of thought.
KRISHNA DASWhen we start to talk about gurus, we’re talking about beings who actually know what this is all about. They know who we were, where we came from, and where we’re going. They are not imprisoned in a selfish or self-centered view of the universe.
KRISHNA DASCan you imagine what it would be like to all of a sudden see another color that nobody else sees?
