This time on Pilgrim Heart we hear Krishna Das explain:


Following our hearts and praying for guidance

Fully giving ourselves to practice

Letting go of the need for immediate gratification

How Krishna Das started chanting with others

Krishna Das’ experience almost being drafted into Vietnam

Psychedelics and getting out of our self-imposed jails

The transient and artificial nature of substances

Developing our consciousness overtime through practice

Opening our hearts to all beings

Spiritual practice as the path to love within us all

“We’re so scattered and fragmented and distracted. It’s
so hard to focus on something other than immediate pleasure. If
it’s a movie or a good meal we seem to be able to focus, but when
it comes down to doing something that doesn’t get immediate
gratification, it’s very hard.” – Krishna Das
