If 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.
Krishna DasLetting go does not mean pushing away or negating thoughts or feelings that come to us - but instead being with the feeling. We start to feel that we are no longer victims of the stuff that happens to us. There is something we can do about it... if we just take a look at it.
Krishna DasGrace removes obstacles that we donโt even know are there. Grace is what arranges our lives so we are forced to look within.
Krishna DasYou can never really know what a guru is as long as you are imprisoned by your own thoughts and circular ego.
