In this heart-led exploration, Krishna Das shares how mantra, willpower, and grace guide us from the illusion of ego and into the freedom of real love.

This time on Pilgrim Heart, Krishna Das offers wisdom on:

• Inspiration from Maharaj-ji’s picture, dream visits, and more
• How the soul pulls us towards real love and freedom
• Why meditating/chanting/any form of practice is a good idea
• The jungle guru who helped Krishna Das with his will power
• Using our will in a constructive way to free ourselves from suffering
• Solving the problem of what is really holding us back
• Repeating the name of God as a gradual method to purify our minds and hearts
• Falling out of the ‘movie of me’ through mantra 

“There's mantras for everything. There's mantras for robbing banks, for finding buried treasure, for controlling snakes, for becoming president of the United States, but kirtan is the chanting of the names, which is only good for one thing, finding real love. It's not good for controlling other people, getting rich, anything except finding real love and connecting deeply to our own true nature” – Krishna Das
