Until you are fully enlightened, you can never know what another person's reality is like for them.
Krishna DasWe all inhabit our lives, in different ways to some degree. We see ourselves a certain way, and based on how we see ourselves, that's how we see the world.
Krishna DasAll we can know is our own subjective version of reality. That's the way we go through our lives. Everybody.
Krishna DasI didn't know what I was looking for, but I knew whatever it was that I was looking for was real.
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.
