The repetition of the holy names reveals a presence hidden within the heart. Something begins to happen that's very disturbing - we get happy.
Krishna DasWe have to learn to love people even if they are not giving you what you want... and then not take it personally. If you feel hurt, you have to recognize that they are not hurting you because you are you, but because they are them. You have to try not to be so hard on yourself.
Krishna DasYou can't manipulate a heart open. You can only allow it to open in the right circumstances.
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.
