“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

“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
