Ep. 170 – Sincerity of Heart

Krishna Das teaches listeners all that is possible through total sincerity of the heart and self-awareness.

This week on Pilgrim Heart, Krishna Das holds a talk on:

• How Krishna Das’ bar mitzvah transformed his outlook on organized religion
• What initially struck Krishna Das about Zen Buddhism and Indian philosophy
• Sensing an ongoing connection to Ram Dass
• Sitting down and chanting without over-intellectualizing everything
• Having sincerity of heart and being kind to ourselves
• The inner and outer blanket of Maharaj-ji
• The difficult process of forgiving those who have hurt us
• Letting others be who they are and learn their own lessons
• Recognizing that the problems we have with others are often about ourselves

“Try to be kind to yourself. That’s all. You don’t need a mantra to be kind to yourself. You just need to recognize what that means and try to figure out why you’re not kind to yourself. You don’t need magic for that, you just need to pay attention. You need sincerity of heart. That’s what we need.” – Krishna Das
