This week, Krishna Das responds to questions on:

• The concept of Sub Ek, or, all one
• Making peace with the many paths to God
• How relationships help us see where we need to work on ourselves
• Having compassion for ourselves so we can extend kindness to others
• Recognizing the impact of our actions on the world
• Freewill versus the karmic seeds that we are born with
• Dealing with discomfort instead of seeking out pleasure
• Choosing whichever practice feels right to us
• Being open to whatever arises during our practice
• The subtle transformations that occur throughout our spiritual journey

“If we’re hard on ourselves, if we don’t have kindness and compassion for our own selves and our own stuff, we really can’t be kind for other people. We can pretend to be kind, which is what most of us do, but real kindness comes from recognizing that we’re all in this together. We’re all here together in this world and all of our actions are very powerful.” – Krishna Das

This time on Pilgrim Heart, Krishna Das divulges:

• The different versions of The Bhagavad Gita
• Giving our full concentration to the mantra
• How to be in the “I am” instead of the “me”
• Regular practice over time as the path to truth
• Understanding through practice rather than intellectual concepts
• Relationships and seeing where our work needs to be done
• Love as a true and constant nature
• Calming our minds down with chanting and meditation
• The way we are in relationship with everything all the time

“There is nothing wrong with love. The spiritual path is nothing but love. Relationships can really show you where your work has to be done and what work you have to do. Because you will see that they’ll be times when that beautiful romantic relationship looks like and feels like shit and torture. I guarantee it. Sooner or later. It may not last, but you’re going to go through everything in the relationship if you are really in relationship and you’re being honest with yourself and the other person. Relationships are wonderful opportunities to do a lot of work on ourselves.” – Krishna Das
