“We haven’t been brought up in a culture where people really trust themselves. Everybody is telling everybody else what they should be feeling, what they should be buying, what they should be doing, how they should do it, what they should wear, what they should listen to. Nobody is listening to their own heart. That’s what we have to learn to do. – Krishna Das

“Ultimate reality is when the dust and the dirt on the mirror of the heart is cleaned off, then what is seen is no longer subjective or personal. What’s experienced is what is real and that is beyond concepts, beyond thoughts and emotions.” – Krishna Das
