Until you are fully enlightened, you can never know what another person's reality is like for them.
Krishna DasYou can never really know what a guru is as long as you are imprisoned by your own thoughts and circular ego.
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.
