“You try to be as sincere with people as you can. It is not our job to set everything right in the universe and to correct everyone according to our ideas about what’s right and wrong. That kind of honesty is just more arrogance. Real honesty is love.” – Krishna Das

This time on Pilgrim Heart, Krishna Das holds a virtual kirtan and responds to questions on:

Our thoughts/feelings versus who we really are
Learning to stop the habit of negative self-talk
Repeating the name and coming home
Faith as a belief in ourselves and overcoming suffering
Developing confidence
Merging the guru and the self
One light and many reflections
A story of KC Tewari and a Hanuman Murti
Krishna Das’ last moments with Ram Dass
Honesty and sincerity with oneself and others
Roles, souls, and loving everyone
Allowing things to come and go
Raising Kundalini through service
Maharaj-ji’s favorite scripture, the Tulsidas Ramayana and Ramcharitmanas

“The self is not a thing. It’s pure being, pure consciousness, pure awareness, pure love. It’s not a thing; it can’t be held in a cup or caught in your hands. It can’t be caught with your minds or thoughts. It is awareness of all that. It is deeper than that.” – Krishna Das
