It’s harder to pay attention only mentally because thought is very wispy, it blows around really quickly. But, when you’re singing out loud, and breathing and making noise, and hearing it with your ears, all that helps you pay attention.” – Krishna Das This week on Pilgrim Heart, learn about : The benefit of mantra in Hindi Having an awareness of what we are chanting Freeing ourselves from addictions Krishna Das’ own struggles with addiction Doing the best we can with the life we were given Engaging our minds and hearts in our practice Comparing Hanuman to The Holy Spirit Opening the heart after a heartbreak Developing a relationship with Maharaj-ji without meeting him Attachment and freedom from attachment as God’s will Serving Hanuman and giving up our material desires “The thoughts come and go, we’re so distracted and flittery and fluttery, and all over the place. We don’t know how to land. We can’t maintain and deepen our connection, so that’s what we have to do. We do that through these practices that we all know about: chanting, meditation, prayer, opening the heart, taking care of people, thinking about others more than ourselves.” – Krishna Das ================ Krishna Das on Engaging with Practice– Pilgrim Heart Podcast Ep. 151 - https://youtu.be/RZS39ERgjI8 Krishna Das – Pilgrim Heart – Ep. 151 – Engaging with Practice - https://beherenownetwork.com/krishna-das-pilgrim-heart-ep-151-engaging-with-practice ================ Make sure not to miss a single video podcast from Be Here Now Network!
