“Right now, we’re programmed to hold onto everything. But over time, we can let go of our identification with the negative states of mind, the negative self images, and the negative stories we tell ourselves. But you can’t push those away. We have to train ourselves to release them.” – Krishna Das

- How regular practice allows us to habituate to the feeling of letting go to allow intense emotions to run through us
- Maharaj-ji’s response to the death of a devotee
- A miracle story about Swami Nityananda
- The lila when Ram Dass gave Maharaj-ji the first copy of Be Here Now
- Maharaj-ji sending Krishna Das back to America to deal with his desires
