In this episode of Pilgrim Heart, Krishna Das offers his thoughts on:
- Honoring our feelings without allowing them to destroy us
Balancing being of service to ourselves and others through self-care and healthy boundaries
- Asking “how?” instead of “why?”
- How opening to the path of devotion can dust off the mirrors of our hearts
- The meaning of the Hanuman Chalisa and how his recent epiphany helped him deepen even further into the practice of the 40-line mantra singing the praises of Hanuman
“The less separate we feel from other human beings, the more we naturally want to help them. If we desire a way to help, we will find a way to help. But if you’re dying of thirst, you have no water to give anybody else either. So we have to find a balance.” – Krishna Das
