You’d be chanting, but going off in your mind while you’re singing, and you don’t even know you’re not there until you go, ‘Oh,’ and you realize you’ve been gone.” – Krishna Das

Today's podcast is sponsored by BetterHelp. Click to receive 10% off your first month with your own licensed professional therapist: betterhelp.com/beherenow
Willpower is what directs our energy. Many of us have issues with directing our energy and going after things. We usually use willpower to go towards things we desire or to steer away from the things we think might hurt us. This, however, is actually just reactive. It is not really conscious willpower. Krishna Das says that developing willpower is a part of becoming more aware and taking accountability for all of our actions. Practice definitely helps us open up and find our inner strength.
“Every time we come back from dreamland to the chant or the mantra or to our breath, or whatever our object of concentration is, we recommit to being with the mantra, to listening to the mantra, to hearing the mantra. That is an act of will.” – Krishna Das

To close, he shares kirtan of Narayana/For Your Love, as well as the Hanuman Chalisa.
"There's no button to push to make the ego go away – that's what spiritual practice is for, that's what it's about. The names that we chant are the names of our true being, which is not separate from everybody else, which is the same as everybody else. The essence within us is the same essence that's in everybody. What's looking out of my eyes right this moment is the same thing that's looking out of your eyes." – Krishna Das
