You can never really know what a guru is as long as you are imprisoned by your own thoughts and circular ego.
Krishna DasWe instantly believe everything we think. Isn't that insane? It's good for us to explore the depravity of our minds, so we know we are just as crazy as everyone else!
Krishna DasThere is love in this world, and it lives within us as who we really are, not who we think we are.
Krishna DasDevotion is a way of being, it's not something you do. It's dedication to finding awareness and Love. Chanting is like asanas for the mind and the heart.
Krishna DasIf you stub your toe, you don't need to dialog yourself to be good to your foot, do you? When you see things that clearly, there's no dialogue or emotional manipulation that you need to do to extend compassion to that being, because that being is a part of you, and if that being hurts, you hurt.
