If we know anything about a path at all, it's only because of the Great ones that have gone before us. Out of their love and kindness, they have left some footprints for us to follow. So, in the same way that they wish for us, we wish that all beings everywhere, including ourselves, be safe, be happy, have good health, and enough to eat. And may we all live at ease of heart with whatever comes to us in life.
Krishna DasYou can't manipulate a heart open. You can only allow it to open in the right circumstances.
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 DasAll we can know is our own subjective version of reality. That's the way we go through our lives. Everybody.
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.
