"Grace is always here but we're too busy, too involved in our stuff, our thoughts and emotions. We're too identified with our negative emotions. From our side, it appears we lose contact with the grace. But, that's not the case. We just lose awareness of the presence. Maharaj-ji doesn't go, doesn't come, doesn't leave us. He never lets go. Once he takes your hand, he never lets go." – Krishna Das This time on Pilgrim Heart, Krishna Das responds to questions about: Hanuman’s favorite food and providing offerings from the heart The ever-presence of Maharaj-ji and his grace, even when we are too busy to notice The struggle to connect with others and find a community Loving everyone, regardless of their actions or if we like/dislike them A short retelling of the story of Hanuman’s birth Working through addictions and the avoidance of pain A memory of an almost-marriage in India, and how Maharaj-ji always saw right through Krishna Das’ ego How it took Krishna Das 21 years to begin singing to Maharaj-ji as his primary practice "The big community is human beings, that's our real community. Our work is to allow our hearts to open to all beings, even the ones we don't like, even the ones that are doing terrible things. It's not our job to judge—it's our job to love everyone as best we can, and that's hard enough." – Krishna Das See Privacy Policy at and California Privacy Notice at .
