Speaking about the power of the path of devotion, Krishna Das offers wisdom on finding balance and taking care of ourselves and others through practices like the Hanuman Chalisa to polish the mirrors of our hearts.
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
Learn to sing the Hanuman Chalisa and dive deeper into its meaning here
“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
