Ep. 188 – Suffering & Self-Created Stories
Notas do episódio
Guiding us toward balance, connection, and freedom from suffering, Krishna Das explores letting go of our numerous self-created stories.
This week on Pilgrim Heart, Krishna Das responds to questions on:
- Devotional literature and poetry
- What to do when feelings of boredom arise during practice
- Using pain as an object of awareness
- How mantra practice helps us remain balanced in daily life
- Detaching from our thoughts and feelings rather than identifying with them
- Freeing ourselves from the stories we tell ourselves, about ourselves
- The difference between letting go and pushing away
- The illusion of separation and how recognizing our connection to all beings releases us from suffering
Check out this Tibetan devotional poem mentioned by Krishna Das, Life Beyond Time
“When there is a lot of physical pain, it is really hard to be present, which is why they always say practice when you can. It is inevitable that people get sick and suffer and die. People we know will get sick, suffer, and die, and we’re going to have to deal with those situations. We must find a way to live everyday in the best way we can.” –Krishna Das
