All Things Must Pass

Life Goes On Within You And Without You

I Know Chances Are If I Don't Give An Interview Or Make A Public Appearance Or Statement From Time To Time, They'll Invent One. Every So Often, I Suppose People Ask, 'whatever Happened To That Other Beatle, George Harrison?' And Someone Comes Around With A Ready Answer, No Matter How Preposterous It Seems. It's Possibly The Worst Price One Has To Pay For What They Call Stardom.

As Long As You Hate, There Will Be People To Hate.

It Doesn't Matter Whether You're The King Of A Country Or... A Fabulous Beatle; It's What's Inside That Counts.

I've Been The Same All Along. I Talk When I Feel Like It And I Shut Up When I Don't Feel Like Talking.

The Greek Word For Christ Is Kristos, Which Is, Let's Face It, Krishna, And Kristos Is The Same Name Actually.

Krishna Is God, And By Chanting His Holy Names, The Devotee Quickly Develops God-consciousness.

Just Take The Music, The Goodness, Because It's The Very Best, And It's The Part I Give Most Willingly.

Music Is Sound, Vibrations, Whereas Paintings Are Vibrations Of Whatever You Pick Up. It's Not Actually An Energy Vibration You Get From A Groovy Painting, But Music And Sound Seem To Travel Along Vibrations, You Know The Whole Thing With Mantras Is To Repeat And Repeat Those Sounds... It's Vibrations In Everything Like Prayers And Hymns.

Experience Is The Main Reason Why We're Here, I Think, In The World To Gain Experience And From Our Experience We Gain Knowledge. Oh, I Think So, Anyway. Knowledge And If We Get Any Knowledge Then We Gain Liberation.

We Don't Belong Here, But In The Spiritual Sky: As L'm Fated For The Material World, Get Frustrated In The Material World, Senses Never Gratified, Only Swelling Like A Tide, That Could Drown Me In The Material World.

Hippies Are So Phoney And Fake.

Heaven And Hell Is Right Now. ... You Make It Heaven Or You Make It Hell By Your Actions.

The Lord Is In Everything That's In Creation. So, When You Look At A Tree, It's Really A Reflection Of God. You See It In Other People - That's Him Too, You Know?

If There Is A God, I Want To See Him, Not Only His Energy Or His Light, But Him.

If There Is A God

The Beatles Are Now History, And It Would Be Unhealthy To Try To Make My Way As A Former Member. I Must Admit I Occasionally Listen To Our Records, But Usually It's Not Deliberate. I'm More Concerned With The Present, With Working Out My Own Individual Style And Producing Something New And Worthwhile.

If God Is Unlimited, Then He Can Appear In Any Form, Whichever Way He Likes To Appear.

We Are Not These Bodies, Just Souls Having A Bodily Experience.

That Was The Thing About Prabhupada, You See. He Didn't Just Talk About Loving Krishna And Getting Out Of This Place, But He Was The Perfect Example. He Talked About Always Chanting, And He Was Always Chanting. I Think That That In Itself Was Perhaps The Most Encouraging Thing For Me. It Was Enough To Make Me Try Harder, To Be Just A Little Bit Better. He Was A Perfect Example Of Everything He Preached.

I Can See The Beatles Sticking Together Forever, Really. We've Been Together A Long Time.

Been Stuck In Airports, Terrorized; Sent To Meetings, Hypnotized; Overexposed, Commercialized. Handle Me With Care.

All Religions Are Branches Of One Big Tree. It Doesn't Matter What You Call Him Just As Long As You Call. Just As Cinematic Images Appear To Be Real But Are Only Combinations Of Light And Shade, So Is The Universal Variety A Delusion. The Planetary Spheres, With Their Countless Forms Of Life, Are Naught But Figures In A Cosmic Motion Picture. One's Values Are Profoundly Changed When He Is Finally Convinced That Creation Is Only A Vast Motion Picture And That Not In, But Beyond, Lies His Own Ultimate Reality.

The Christianity That Had Come In My Life As A Child Was All This Idea That You're Never Going To See God. It's Like Hypocrisy, In A Way.

I'm Only Myself When I Have A Guitar In My Hands.

When You've Seen Beyond Yourself, Then You May Find, Peace Of Mind Is Waiting There.

Many People Fear The Words Lord And God.

I Don't Believe In Telling All To The Public, But I Feel A Certain Gratitude To Them For Having Provided Me With A Fine Material Base That Enables Me To Do Pretty Much What I Want, Possibly, For The Rest Of My Life.

Everybody Should Just Stay At Home And Meditate And They'd Be So Much Happier.

Through All Ages, Great Saints Have Remained As Living Proof That This Non-temporary, Permanent State Of God Consciousness Can Be Revived In All Living Souls.

Death Is Just Where Your Suit Falls Off And Now You're In Your Other Suit. You Can't See It On This Level, But It's All Right. Don't Worry.

It's In The Films And Songs And All Your Magazines. It's Everywhere That You May Go, The Devil's Radio.

I Still Practice Transcendental Meditation And I Think It's Great. Marharishi Only Ever Did Good For Us, And Although I Have Not Been With Him Physically, I Never Left Him.

All Things Must Pass.

All Things Must Pass

The Past Is Gone And The Future Might Not Even Be, The Only Thing We Ever Experience Is The Now, I Try To Enjoy The Minute.

If There Is A God, I Want To See Him. I Don't Want To Just Hear Some Holy Roller Shouting About Him.

If There Is A God

Life Is Like A Piece Of String With A Lot Of Knots Tied In It. The Knots Are The Karma You're Born With From All Your Past Lives, And The Object Of Human Life Is To Try And Undo All Those Knots. That's What Chanting And Meditation In God Consciousness Can Do. Otherwise You Simply Tie Another Ten Knots Each Time You Try To Undo One Knot. That's How Karma Works.

I Wanted To Be Successful, Not Famous.

Being Successful

It Would Be Great If Everyone Chanted Hare Krishna. Everybody Would Benefit By Doing It.

Now It May Seem So Far From Where We All Are It's Something We Can't Neglect It's Something I Can't Neglect Now Won't You Give Some Bread To Get The Starving Fed

Everyone Should Have Themselves Regularly Overwhelmed By Nature

But I've Been Traveling On A Boat And A Plane, In A Car On A Bike With A Bus And A Train. Traveling There, Traveling Here, Everywhere In Every Gear. But Oh Lord We Pay The Price, With The Spin Of The Wheel With The Roll Of The Dice. Ah Yeah You Pay Your Fare. And If You Don't Know Where You're Going, Any Road Will Take You There.

I Was Naive And Thought We Could Express Our Feelings To Each Other- Not Suppress Them And Keep Holding Them Back. Well, It Was What I Felt, And Why Should I Be Untrue To Myself? I Came To Believe The Importance That If You Feel Something Strong Enough Then You Should Say It.

Chanting Doesn't Stop You From Being Creative Or Productive. It Actually Helps You Concentrate. I Think This Would Make A Great Sketch For Television: Imagine All The Workers On The Ford Assembly Line In Detroit, All Of Them Chanting Hare Krishna Hare Krishna While Bolting On The Wheels. Now That Would Be Wonderful. It Might Help Out The Auto Industry, And Probably There Would Be More Decent Cars Too.

That's What The Whole Sixties Flower-power Thing Was About: 'go Away, You Bunch Of Boring People.

Music Should Be Used For The Perception Of God, Not Jitterbugging.

The Beatles Will Go On And On.

As A Beatle, My Everyday Life Belonged To The Public In One Way Or Another. We Were Always Appearing For The Public In The Early Days, Or We Were Planning For Them, Producing For Them, Interviewing For Their Sake, Etc.

Once You Realize Something, Then You Can't Pretend You Don't Know It Any More.

Everyone Has Choice When To And Not To Raise Their Voices: It's You Who Decides.

The More People Wake Up Spiritually, The More They'll Begin To Realize The Depth Of What Prabhupada Was Saying - How Much He Gave.

Gossip Is The Devil's Radio.

George: [on The 'two Virgins' Cover] 'what I Thought Of The Sleeve Then Was The Same As I Think Now: It's Just Two Not-very-nice-looking Bodies, Two Flabby Bodies Naked. It's Harmless, Really - Different Strokes For Different Folks.

One Reason I Avoid The American Tv Talk Show Circuit, When I'm Over There, Is That The Tabloids And The Gossip Mill Are Always Churning With New, True, Or Untrue Stories About New Loves, Old Loves, Pending Marriages, Divorces, Trial Separations, Flings And Affairs With People Of Every Description. I'm Not Into Any Of That.

It Just Annoyed Me That People Got So Into The Beatles. "beatles, Beatles, Beatles." It's Not That I Don't Like Talking About Them. I've Never Stopped Talking About Them. It's "beatles This, Beatles That, Beatles, Beatles, Beatles, Beatles." Then In The End, It's Like "oh, Sod Off With The Beatles," You Know?

The World Is Ready For A Mystic Revolution, A Discovery Of The God In Each Of Us.

Although Christ, In My Mind Is An Absolute Yogi, I Think Many Christian Teachers Today Are Misrepresenting Christ.

I'm Sick Of All These Young People Just Boogeying Around, Wasting Their Lives, You Know.

There's This Indian Fellow Who Worked Out A Cycle Like The Idea Of Stone-age, Bronze-age, Only He Did It On An Indian One. The Cycle Goes From Nothing Until Now And 20th Century And Then On And Right Around The Cycle Until The People Are Really Grooving And Then Just Sinks Back Into Ignorance Until It Gets Back Into The Beginning Again. So The 20th Century Is A Fraction Of That Cycle, And How Many Of Those Cycles Has It Done Yet? It's Done As Many As You Think And All These Times It's Been Through Exactly The Same Things, And It'll Be This Again.

Some People, Of Course, Can Be Happier With The Cars, The Fancy Threads, The Hilltop Mansion, And The Other Status Symbols Of 'having Made It', But I Found That Several Of My Most Prized Possessions Were Slipping Away, Despite All The Fortune I Had Amassed.

Life Is Like A Rain Drop On A Lotus Leaf. Everybody Realises That You're Either Very Lucky Person Or You're Not.

Without Going Out Of My Door, I Can Know All Things On Earth. Without Looking Out Of My Window I Could Know The Ways Of Heaven. The Farther One Travels, The Less One Knows, The Less One Really Knows.

The Smile On Your Face Is Sometimes Out Of Place, Don't Mind No Frowns, Cheer Down.

Everybody Is Great Really And Has Got To Be Great.

Although Christ In My Mind Is An Absolute Yogi, I Think Many Christian Teachers Today Are Misrepresenting Christ. They're Supposed To Be Representing Jesus, But They're Not Doing It Very Well. They're Letting Him Down Very Badly, And That's A Big Turn Off.

You've Got To Be Humble Really To Be Yourself Or To Get A Chance To Be Yourself.

People Always Say I'm The Beatle Who Changed The Most, But Really That's What I See Life Is About... You Have To Change.

It Was Daylight And I Drove Everyone Home - I Was Driving A Mini With John And Cynthia And Pattie In It. I Seem To Remember We Were Doing Eighteen Miles An Hour And I Was Really Concentrating - Because Some Of The Time I Just Felt Normal And Then, Before I Knew Where I Was, It Was All Crazy Again. Anyway, We Got Home Safe And Sound, And Somewhere Down The Line John And Cynthia Got Home. I Went To Bed And Lay There For, Like, Three Years.

Sounds Are Vibrations And The More You Can Put Into That Vibration, The More You Can Get Out, Action And Reaction, That's The Thing To Tell The People.

The Microscopes That Magnified The Tears, Studied Warts And All. Still Life Flows On.

Consciousness And Meditation Are Methods Where You Can Actually Obtain God Perception.

The Greatest Thing Anyone Can Give Humanity Is God Consciousness.

After All We Did For Britain, Selling That Corduroy And Making It Swing, All We Got Was A Bit Of Tin On A Piece Of Leather.

There's A Point In Me Where It's Beyond Sad, Seeing The State Of The World Today. It's So Screwed Up. It's Terrible, And It Will Be Getting Worse And Worse. More Concrete Everywhere, More Pollution, More Radioactivity. There's No Wilderness Left, No Pure Air. They're Chopping The Forests Down. They're Polluting All The Oceans.

A Lot Of People Went Underground With Their Spiritual Life In The Seventies, But They're Out There In Little Nooks And Crannies And In The Countryside, People Who Look And Dress Straight, Insurance Salesmen Types, But They're Really Meditators And Chanters, Closet Devotees.

Dylan Is So Brilliant. To Me, He Makes William Shakespeare Look Like Billy Joel.

With Our Love, We Could Save The World.

If There's A God, I Want To See Him. It's Pointless To Believe In Something Without Proof.

We Have The Same Qualities As God, Just Like A Drop Of The Ocean Has The Same Qualities As The Whole Ocean. Everybody's Looking For Something And We Are It. We Don't Have To Look Anywhere--it's Right There Within Ourselves.

All The World Is Birthday Cake, So Take A Piece, But Not Too Much.

George: 'ringo Would Always Say Grammmatically Incorrect Phrases And We'd All Laugh. I Remember When We Were Driving Back To Liverpool From Luton Up The M1 Motorway In Ringo's Zephyr, And The Car's Bonnet Hadn't Been Latched Properly. The Wind Got Under It And Blew It Up In Front Of The Windscreen. We Were All Shouting, 'aaaargh!' And Ringo Calmly Said, 'don't Worry, I'll Soon Have You Back In Your Safely-beds.

There's The Whole Significance Of Krishna As The Flute Player Who Awakens Our Consciousness. It Doesn't Necessarily Have To Be A Flute Because For Me It Was A Sitar Or A Guitar Or Even Elvis Presley Doing "heartbreak Hotel." It Was Like Krishna's Flute Calling Me Somewhere. It's Just Really Simple When We Can Remember.

Sometimes, You Release An Album And The Record Company Just About Ignores It, And So Many People Don't Even Know It's Out. And I'm Not About To Jump Up And Down Shouting, "hey Folks, Look At Me! I'm Cool And Groovy!" That's Not What George Harrison Is All About.

The Guru And Disciple Relationship Is Where The Person Has A 100% Belief In The Guru And That Way You Put Your Trust In The Guru, That He's Going To Get You Out Of This Mess. If You Are A Christian, Then Christ Is Your Guru, And They're All Disciples Of Christ.

Oh Yeah, Gossip. I Heard You On The Secret Wireless. You Know The Devil's Radio Child.

Didn't Want To Be A Star, Wanted Just To Play Guitar In This Cockamamie Business.

Some Things Take So Long But How Do I Explain When Not Too Many People Can See We're All The Same And Because Of All Their Tears Your Eyes Can't Hope To See The Beauty That Surrounds Them Now, Isn't It A Pity

Through Hinduism, I Feel A Better Person. I Just Get Happier And Happier. I Now Feel That I Am Unlimited, And I Am More In Control Of My Own Physical Body. The Thing Is, You Go To An Ordinary Church And It's A Nice Feeling. They Tell You All About God, But They Don't Show You How The Way. They Don't Show You How To Become Christ-concious Yourself. Hinduism, However, Is Different.

People Are All Ignorant, They Fear New Things, They Fear Knowledge Somehow, I Don't Know Why. Everything That I Ever Learned Was Always So Great. I Never Thought So At The Time, It Was Just That Little Bit More In Your Mind An Expansion Of Consciousness Or Awareness.

My Life Belongs To Me, My Love Belongs To Those Who Can See It.

Part Of Krishna Consciousness Is Trying To Tune In All The Senses Of All The People: To Experience God Through All The Senses, Not Just By Experiencing Him On Sunday, Through Your Knees By Kneeling On Some Hard Wooden Kneeler In The Church.

We First Got Marijuana From An Older Drummer With Another Group In Liverpool. We Didn't Actually Try It Until After We'd Been To Hamburg. I Remember We Smoked It In The Band Room In A Gig In Southport And We All Learnt To Do The Twist That Night, Which Was Popular At The Time. We Were All Seeing If We Could Do It. Everybody Was Saying, 'this Stuff Isn't Doing Anything.' It Was Like That Old Joke Where A Party Is Going On And Two Hippies Are Up Floating On The Ceiling, And One Is Saying To The Other, 'this Stuff Doesn't Work, Man.'

Everybody Is Worried About Dying, But The Cause Of Death Is Birth, So If You Don't Want To Die, You Don't Get Born!

"in The Beginning Was The Word" And That's The Thing About Krishna, Saying Krishna, Krishna, Krishna, Krishna, So It's Not The Word That You're Saying, It's The Sound: Krishna Krishna Krishna Krishna Krishna Krishna And It's Just Sounds And It's Great.

While Everybody Else Was Going Mad, We Were Actually The Sanest People In The Whole Thing.

It Is Better To Be An Outspoken Atheist Than A Hypocrite.

The Word Hare Is The Word That Calls Upon The Energy That's Around The Lord. If You Say The Mantra Enough, You Build Up An Identification With God.

We Don't, As A Collective Life On This Planet, All Get Groovy Together Or All Sink Into Ignorance Together. One By One We Liberate Our Souls, Our Individual Souls, From The Cycle By Our Own Realizations.

Stop Thinking That If Britain Or America Or Russia Or The West Or Whatever Becomes Superior, Then We'll Beat Them, And Then We'll All Have A Rest And Live Happily Ever After. That Doesn't Work.

Everybody Would Like To Be Good, That's The Silly Thing, Everybody Always Likes It When They're Having A Nice Time Or When They're Happy Or When It's Sunny, They All Dig It; But Then They Go And Forget About It, They Never Really Try To Make It Nice. They Think That It Just Comes Along And It's Nice If You're Lucky, Or If You're Unlucky It's Bad For You.

I'll Give Up This Sort Of Touring Madness Certainly, But Music-everything Is Based On Music. No, I'll Never Stop My Music.

I've Heard That While The Show Was On There Were No Reported Crimes, Or Very Few. When The Beatles Were On Ed Sullivan, Even The Criminals Had A Rest For Ten Minutes.

No Matter How Good You Are, You Still Need Grace To Get Out Of The Material World. You Can Be A Yogi Or A Monk Or A Nun, But Without God's Grace You Still Can't Make It.

I Find The Older One Gets The Harder It Is To Keep The Weight Off, Even If One Isn't Eating Very Fattening Foods. Once, I Was Able To Put Foods Like Those Away, And They Didn't Show Up On The Bathroom Scales The Next Morning. But That Was When I Was Very Physically Active, Travelling All Over The World And Burning Up More Calories.

What's Often In Your Heart Is The Hardest To Reach.

If I Had Half A Chance, I'd Put Acid In The Government's Tea.

I'm A Person Who's Trying To Live Within Divine Law, To The Best And It's Very Hard Because It's Self-discipline, Because The More You Realise, The More You've Got To Get Yourself Straight, So It's Hard, You Know. I'm Trying And There Are A Lot Of People Who Are Trying, Even People Who Are Not Conscious That They Are Doing It, But They Are Really Doing Things For The Good, Or Just To Be Happy Or Whatever.

In The End, This World Will Go Under Because Of The Stupidity Of People.

It's Easier To Tell A Lie, Than To Tell The Truth. It's Easier To Kill A Fly, Than It Is To Turn It Loose.

Telling The Truth

I Want The Pope To Have The Christ Consciousness. I Don't Want To Just Talk About Christ.

Christ Consciousness

I'm Pessimistic About The Future Of The Planet. These Big Guys Don't Realize For Everything They Do, There's A Reaction. You Have To Pay. That's Karma.

I'm Not Really Hip To Too Much Of The Zen Or The Buddhist Point Of View, But You See I Don't Have To Be Because I Just Know That They're All The Same, It's All The Same, It's Just Whichever One You Want To Take And It Happens That I'm Taking The Hindu One.

How Long It Will Take Until We Get To A Golden Age Where Everybody's Perfectly In Tune With God's Will, I Don't Know; But Because Of Prabhupada, Krishna Consciousness Has Certainly Spread More In The Last Sixteen Years Than It Has Since The Sixteenth Century, Since The Time Of Lord Caitanya. The Mantra Has Spread More Quickly And The Movement's Gotten Bigger And Bigger.

Even If It's Being A Beatle For The Rest Of My Life, It's Still Only A Temporary Thing.

I Think People Who Truly Can Live A Life In Music Are Telling The World, ‘you Can Have My Love, You Can Have My Smiles. Forget The Bad Parts, You Don’t Need Them. Just Take The Music, The Goodness, Because It’s The Very Best, And It’s The Part I Give Most Willingly

As Far As I'm Concerned, There Won't Be A Beatles Reunion As Long As John Lennon Remains Dead.

No Truth Could Ever Fear Me.

I'd Like To Think That All The Old Beatle Fans Have Grown Up And They've Got Married And They've All Got Kids And They're All More Responsible, But They Still Have A Space In Their Hearts For Us.

Everybody Is Looking For Krishna. Some Don't Realize That They Are, But They Are.

People Are Simply Screwing Up When They Go Out And Buy Beef Steak, Which Is Killing Them With Cancer And Heart Troubles. The Stuff Costs A Fortune Too. You Could Feed A Thousand People With Lentil Soup For The Cost Of Half A Dozen Filets. Does That Make Sense?

I Keep Stacks Of Autobiography Of A Yogi Around The House, And I Give It Out Constantly To People. When People Need 'regrooving,' I Say Read This, Because It Cuts To The Heart Of Every Religion.

Everybody Knows That If They're Happy Then Usually The People Around Them Are Happy, Or That People Around Them Happy Make Them A Little Happier; That's A Proved Thing, Like "i Give To You And You Give To Me"; They All Know That But They Haven't Thought About It To The Point Of Every Action That They Do. That's What It Is With Every Action That You Do, There's A Reaction To It, And If You Want A Good Reaction Then You Do A Good Action, And If You Want A Bad One, Then You Punch Somebody.

If Everyone Who Had A Gun Just Shot Themselves, There Wouldn't Be A Problem.

I Believe What It Says In The Scriptures And In The Bhagavad Gita: 'never Was There A Time When You Did Not Exist, And There Never Will Be A Time When You Cease To Exist.'

You Don't Need A Passport And You Don't Need No Visas, You Don't Need To Designate Or Emigrate Before You Can See Jesus.

Krishna Is God, The Source Of All That Exists, The Cause Of All That Is, Was, Or Ever Will Be.

I'm Not In The Habit Of Having My Photo Snapped On Some Pretty Young Thing's Arm. I Avoid Pictures Because They Serve No Purpose, Except To Point Out Each New Line, Which Is Very Meaningless.

Although I Have Guitars All Around And I Pick Themm Up Occasionally And Write A Tune And Make A Record, I Don't Really See Myself As A Musician. It May Seem A Funny Thing To Say. It's Just Like, I Write Lyrics Amd I Make Up Songs, But I'm Not A Great Lyricist Or Songwriter Or Producer. It's When You Put All These Things Together - That Makes Me.

The Purpose Of Life Is To Find Out 'who Am I?', 'why Am I Here?' And 'where Am I Going?'

Purpose Of Life

I Don't Mind Anybody Dropping Out Of Anything, But It's The Imposition On Somebody Else I Don't Like. The Moment You Start Dropping Out And Then Begging Off Somebody Else To Help You, Then It's No Good. It Doesn't Matter What You Are As Long As You Work.

We Were The Spice Boys.

Give Me Love Give Me Love Give Me Peace On Earth Give Me Light Give Me Life Keep Me Free From Birth Give Me Hope Help Me Cope, With This Heavy Load Trying To, Touch And Reach You With, Heart And Soul

The Whole Thing Of Life And All The Answers To Everything Are In One Divine Law, Karma Action And Reaction.

People Have To Have A Desire Within Themselves To Know Who They Are And The Reason Why They Are In This Body.

Since Our Problems Have Been Our Own Creation, They Also Can Be Overcome.

We Used To Send Up The Idea Of Getting To The Top. John Would Shout, "where Are We Going, Fellas?" We'd Shout Back, "to The Top, Johnny!

The Art School Party In Liverpool, In A Flat In The Students' Accomdation, Was The First All Night Party I Ever Went To...i Puked Up Next Morning. Cynthia Was There, And I Remember Saying Drunkenly To Her 'i Wish I Had A Nice Girl Like You'

In One Way, We're On An Upward Swing, But At The Same Time There's Still A Lot Of Evil That Goes On In The World. I Think It's Definitely Heading In A Better Direction, But It Seems To Take So Long For All The People With The Power, Who Control The Negative Side Of Life And All The Bad Inventions They Have Like Guns And Bombs And Hate. But There Has To Be A Balance. We've Got To All Try Harder To Manifest More Love In Order To Counteract All That.

We Laughed A Lot. That's One Thing We Forgot About For A Few Years - Laughing. When We Went Through All The Lawsuits, It Looked As If Everything Was Bleak, But When I Think Back To Before That, I Remember We Used To Laugh All The Time.

We're God Too But We Don't Realise It.

I Don't Know How You Were Diverted You Were Perverted Too. I Don't Know How You Were Inverted No One Alerted You.

Here Are Some Funny Songs, There Are Some Songs That We Didn't Even Remember. I Heard This Song That Ringo Is Singing, I Still Don't Know The Title Of It, But It Is Got The Most Amazing Lyrics And It's A Quite A Good Production. And Quite A Good Tun

I Had No Ambition When I Was A Kid Other Than To Play Guitar And Get In A Rock 'n' Roll Band. I Don't Really Like To Be The Guy In The White Suit At The Front. Like In The Beatles, I Was The One Who Kept Quiet At The Back And Let The Other Egos Be At The Front.

Heaven And Hell Is Right Now, Right At This Moment. You Make It Heaven Or You Make It Hell By Your Actions.

The Beatles Saved The World From Boredom.

It Takes A Certain Amount Of Time And Faith To Accept Or To Realize That There Is No Difference Between Him And His Name, To Get To The Point Where You're No Longer Mystified By Where He Is. You Know, Like, "is He Around Here?" You Realize After Some Time, "here He Is - Right Here!" It's A Matter Of Practice.

If I Feel Love, I Just Want To Feel More Love. And If I Feel A Bit Of Peace, I Want To Feel More Peace. But I Don't Really Have Any Great Ambitions. I Feel Very Happy. I've Got A Lot Of Good Friends. I Just Want It To Be Better And More Of It, Really.

They Say The Way To A Man's Heart Is Through His Stomach, So If You Can Get To A Man's Spirit Soul By Eating, And It Works, Why Not Do It? There's Nothing Better Than Having Been Chanting And Dancing, Or Just Sitting And Talking Philosophy, And Then Suddenly The Devotees Bring Out The Prasadam. It's A Blessing From Krishna, And It's Spiritually Important.

It's Wonderful To Look Back And Think You Were Part Of A Force That Shaped Modern Music And Influenced The Public In So Many Ways. However, That's All In The Past.

I Was So Young When I Was Born.

The Aim Is To Get As Much Going Out The Back As Is Coming In. You've Got To Do That Because For Everything You Get In You've Got To Give Something Out.

I'm Grateful To Myself And Those Closest To Me Me For Having Given Me That Non-material Base That Means I'm A Happy Man, One Who Doesn't Have To Compete Or Engineer Projects He Doesn't Have His Heart In.

A Mind That Wants To Wander Around A Corner Is An Un-wise Mind. Now, Is, Be Here Now.

I Am Part Of The Cycle, Rebirth Death, Rebirth Death, Rebirth Death.

My Sweet Lord, Hallelujah. My, My Lord, Hallelujah. My, My Lord, Hare Krishna.

Some Got Rabies, Some Got Fleas, Some Got Incurable Diseases From This Cockamamie Business.

And So My Music, It Doesn't Matter If I Did It 20 Years Ago Or If I Did It Tomorrow. It Doesn't Go With Trends. My Trousers Don't Get Wider And Tighter Every Six Months. My Music Just Stays What It Is, And That's The Way I Like It.

Through Yoga, Anybody Can Attain; It's A God Realisation; You Just Practise Yoga And If You Really Mean It, Then You'll Do It. There's Yogis That Have Done It To Such A Degree That They're God, They're Like Christ And They Can Walk On The Water And Materialise Bodies And They Can Do All Those Tricks.

You Can Be Standing Right In Front Of The Truth And Not Necessarily See It, And People Only Get It When They're Ready To Get It.

So It's Really A Process Of Actually Having A Realization Of God, Which All Becomes Clear With The Expanded State Of Consciousness That Develops When You Chant.

...won't You Give Some Bread To Get The Starving Fed

All I Got To Be Is Be Happy.

It's Being Here Now That's Important. There's No Past And There's No Future. Time Is A Very Misleading Thing. All There Is Ever, Is The Now. We Can Gain Experience From The Past, But We Can't Relive It; And We Can Hope For The Future, But We Don't Know If There Is One.

Barney Kessel Is Definitely The Best Guitar Player In This World, Or Any Other World.

One Of The Main Differences Between Silent Meditation And Chanting Is That Silent Meditation Is Rather Dependent On Concentration, But When You Chant, It's More Of A Direct Connection With God.

I've Always Wanted To Lead An Ordered, Relatively Conventional And Private Life.

Home Life Is Best For Me. But I Do Enjoy The Company Of Good Friends Whether From Long Ago Or Newer Friends Who Only Know Me As George, Not The Ex-beatle.

All Religions Are Branches Of One Big Tree.

I'm Really Quite Simple. I Don't Want To Be In The Business Full Time Because I'm A Gardener. I Plant Flowers And Watch Them Grow. I Don't Go Out To Clubs And Partying. I Stay At Home And Watch The River Flow.

There's A Fire That Burns Away The Lies, Manifesting In The Spiritual Eye.

They Used Us As An Excuse To Go Mad And Then Blamed It On Us. Gandhi Says Create And Preserve The Image Of Your Choice. The Image Of My Choice Is Not Beatle George - Those Who Want That Can Go And See Wings. Why Live In The Past? Be Here Now.

When People Come Up To Me Expecting Me To Be Just Like What They Thought A Beatle Would Be, They're Disappointed. I Never Was A Beatle, Except Musically. I Don't Think Any Of Us Was. What Is A Beatle Anyway? I'm Not A Beatle Or An Ex-beatle Or Even The George Harrison. I'm Just A Man. Very Ordinary.

Krishna Is God, So He's Absolute: His Name, His Form, Prasadam, It's All Him.

The People Gave Their Money And They Gave Their Screams, But The Beatles Gave Their Nervous Systems, Which Is A Much More Difficult Thing To Give.

I've Always Enjoyed Prasadam Much More When I've Been At The Temple, Or When I've Actually Been Sitting With Prabhupada, Than When Somebody's Brought It To Me. Sometimes You Can Sit There With Prasadam And Find That Three Or Four Hours Have Gone By And You Didn't Even Know It. Prasadam Really Helped Me A Lot, Because You Start To Realize "now I'm Tasting Krishna."

You've Got As Many Lives As You Like, And More, Even Ones You Don't Want.

The Police Are People As Well. All Those Nasty People Aren't Really Nasty If They'd Realise It.

That's The Real Beauty Of Chanting - You Directly Connect With God. I Have No Doubt That By Saying Krishna Over And Over Again, He Can Come And Dance On The Tongue. The Main Thing, Though, Is To Keep In Touch With God.

When You're Open To Something It's Like Being A Beacon, And You Attract It. From The First Time I Heard The Chanting Hare Krishna, It Was Like A Door Opened Somewhere In My Subconscious, Maybe From Some Previous Life.

Let Me Tell You How It Will Be. There's One For You, Nineteen For Me. Cause I'm The Taxman.

I Don't Wear Small Shoes, Or Tight Pants That Squash Your Balls.

When I Say That "l See God," I Don't Necessarily Mean To Say That When I Chant I'm Seeing Krishna In His Original Form When He Came Five Thousand Years Ago, Dancing Across The Water, Playing His Flute. Of Course, That Would Also Be Nice, And It's Quite Possible Too. When You Become Real Pure By Chanting, You Can Actually See God Like That, I Mean Personally. But No Doubt You Can Feel His Presence And Know That He's There When You're Chanting.

Brainless Writers Gossip Nonsense To Others Heads As Dense As They Is.

Scan Not A Friend With A Microscopic Glass, You Know His Faults, Now Let The Foibles Pass.

Chanting Hare Krishna Can Make A Person A Better Christian.

The First Time I Took Lsd, It Just Blew Everything Away. I Had Such An Incredible Feeling Of Well-being.

The Idea That You Wake Up And It Happens That You're Queen, It's Amazing But You Could All Be Queens If You Imagined It.

It's Easier To Criticize Somebody Else, Than To See Yourself.

What Do You Think Of The Criticism That You're Not Very Good?

I Believe Love - And Its Feminine, Though Not Necessarily Female, Counterpart, Romance, Is A Private Thing. It's Something I'm Not Willing To Share With The Public.

I Hope Somebody Does This To All My Crap Demos When I'm Dead, Making Them Into Hit Songs.

I'd Rather Stay Home And Watch The Tube Than Go Out And Make Myself Into A Spectacle. I'm Not Uncomfortable With A Social Life, But It Doesn't Appeal To Me. It Doesn't Seem To Accomplish Anything - It Just Leaves One Wanting For More.

I'm A Dark Horse, Running On A Dark Race Course

In One Way, I'm Never Going To Get Out Of This Material World Unless It's By His Grace But Then Again, His Grace Is Relative To The Amount Of Desire I Can Manifest In Myself.

Even One Moment In The Company Of A Divine Person, Krishna's Pure Devotee, Can Help A Tremendous Amount.

No-one Knows What I Do In My Private, Spare Time, So I Don't See Why Anyone Would Assume I'm Celibate Or Somehow Turning Into A Garboesque Character.

Show Me That I M Everywhere And Get Me Home For Tea.

Christ Was The One Washing The Leper's Feet So He Was Very, Very Humble, But It's Not The Way People Are Putting It Down Now. They Feel As Though God Is That Up There And They Are That Down There And They Don't Realise That They Are God And That Christ Was Exactly The Same As Us But He Realises That He Was God.

The Whole Point To Being Here, Really, Is To Figure A Way To Get Out.
