I admit it fully - I love Krishna Das.A lot.
No other living being has embodied the spiritual journey - with all of its humanity - as much as he has. Listening to KD talk and chant, I cannot help but FEEL his authenticity and his love. It is strong and palpable and unquestionable. I feel it in his eyes, in his words, and most of all - in his chanting.
And yet at the same time, KD is no polished saint to be worshiped. He is fully broken - as we all are - and completely unashamed and honest about it. With the utmost beauty, he embraces his brokenness and shares it with all of us in order to show us that his achievements are not due to his own will, but due to the grace of God.
Each time I see him, he is wearing the same red flannel shirt, sporting the same scruffy stubble, and telling the same stories of his previous immature, arrogant ways. But when he starts talking about his encounters with his guru, Neem Karoli Bhaba, one can FEEL the grace of this holy teacher. One can feel the transformation that occurred inside the heart of KD when he met his guru. One can FEEL how KD's heart was opened and burned through a great purifying fire, which annihilated him - and caused him to be reborn.I love him because he's not perfect, he's totally human, and yet - he reminds us that regardless of our supposed perfection in worldly terms, we are called and can be perfect in our love.
I welcome you to fall in love yourself.........
