The 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 DasYou can't manipulate a heart open. You can only allow it to open in the right circumstances.
Krishna DasThe repetition of the holy names reveals a presence hidden within the heart. Something begins to happen that's very disturbing - we get happy.
