Listen "Ep. 179 – Resting in the Nature of Love"
Episode Synopsis
Krishna Das shares a realistic path for resting in the true nature of love that is always accessible to us all. In this episode of Pilgrim Heart, Krishna Das thoughtfully discusses:The many versions of The Bhagavad Gita from different lineages Figuring out which practice works for youHow the soul/buddha-nature is always present, even when we aren’t lookingMeditation practices that increase the awareness of being (I am-ness)Appreciating and accepting all the different parts of ourselves A mantra given to Krishna Das from Ram Dass, “When the sun is kept in the heart, all evils vanish from life”How relationships can help us see the work we need to do Calming down the mind via chantingThe magnetic force and energy within in India Being in relationship with everything all the time How real love does not come and go, and is not conditional “We're in relationship to everything all the time. We have relationships with this table, the computer, the harmonium, the iPad, the floor, the walls, the house, with other people. We're in relationship to everything in the world all the time. When we're in a romantic relationship, we feel loved in the way we want to be loved and we think it's coming from the other person—it isn't. It's coming from our own hearts.” – Krishna DasCheck out the harmonium tutorials mentioned by Krishna das to learn about playing KD-style chords and chalisas!“If you don't love yourself, then what? Where do you sit? Where do you rest? Your self, your true self, is not different than God, not different from the guru. If you don't learn to appreciate and accept all the different parts of yourself, you can't find rest inside." – Krishna DasSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
