Love One Another (his Last Words)

Love One Another

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

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.

Now The Darkness Only Stays At Night Time In The Morning It Will Fade Away Daylight Is Good At Arriving At The Right Time No It's Not Always Going To Be This Grey.

The Media Is To Blame For Everything, For All The Misconceptions About The Movement, But In A Sense It Didn't Really Matter If They Said Something Good Or Bad, Because Krishna Consciousness Always Seemed To Transcend That Barrier Anyway. The Fact That The Media Was Letting People Know About Krishna Was Good In Itself.

"hallelujah" Is A Joyous Expression The Christians Have, But "hare Krishna" Has A Mystical Side To It. It's More Than Just Glorifying God; It's Asking To Become His Servant. And Because Of The Way The Mantra Is Put Together, With The Mystic Spiritual Energy Contained In Those Syllables, It's Much Closer To God Than The Way Christianity Currently Seems To Be Representing Him.

There Are Those Superstars Who Refuse To Give Anything Of Themselves To The Public Except What They See On-screen. In Movies And On Records, It's Easy To Insulate One's Self From The Public; That's Why I Think I Wouldn't Care To Be A Television Performer, Particularly In The States, Where Tv Stardom Is So Intimate.

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.

If God Is In Everything, Why Shouldn't You Taste Him When You Eat?

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

A Cloudburst Doesn't Last All Day. . .

All Things Must Pass

When Somebody Does Something Which Everybody Really Wants To Do, Then It Makes Everyone Else Try A Little Bit Harder And Strive For Something Better, And It's Good.

Definitely, I Think It's Much More Acceptable, The Idea Of Meditation Or Yoga. The Idea Of God Trying To Contact The Soul Within Ourselves. Back In The 60s It Was A Bit Like, You Know , The Hippies Or The Philosophers Were The Only People.

Man Can Become Purified, And With Divine Vision He Can See God. You Get Pure By Chanting, Then You See Him.

I Don't Want To Be A Film Star. I Don't Even Want To Be A Pop Star. I Just Want To Live In Peace.

All I Got To Be Is Be Happy.

I Never Surf (the Net). I Don't Know The Password.

I Fell In Love, Not With Anything Or Anybody In Particular But With Everything.

Ultimately The Love Can Become So Big That We Can Love The Whole Of Creation Instead Of 'i Love This But I Don't Like That.'

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.

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.

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.

If A Car Comes Past Me In A Traffic Jam With A Boom Box Going, I Jump Out Of My Skin. Those Big Booming Basses. I'm Just More Sensitive To Noise These Days.

When The Truth Get's Buried Deep Beneath A Thousand Years Of Sleep, Time Demands A Turnaround.. And Once Again The Truth Is Found.

Your Own Space, Man, It's So Important. That's Why We Were Doomed Because We Didn't Have Any. It Is Like Monkeys In A Zoo. They Die. You Know, Everything Needs To Be Left Alone.

We're As Much Influenced By Everybody Else As They Are By Us, If They Are. It's Just All A Part Of The Big Thing.

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

If There's A God, I Want To See Him. It's Pointless To Believe In Something Without Proof, And Krishna Consciousness And Meditation Are Methods Where You Can Actually Obtain God Perception. In That Way You Can See, Hear And Play With God. Perhaps This May Sound Weird, But God Is Really There Next To You.

We're Trying To Impress Ourselves In A Way. That's Why We Keep Trying To Do Things Better... We Never Get Satisfied.

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.

I Still Feel Like Everybody Else, That I'm Just Growing And Learning. Basically, I Feel Pleased To Have Discovered This Thing That's Inside Me, That's Connected To The Same Thing That's Inside Everybody And Everything.

I Don't Feel The Need For Unusual Or Glamorous Foods Like Caviar, And I Tend More Towards Ordinary, Satisfying Food.

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.

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

Most Of The World Is Fooling About, Especially The People Who Think They Control The World And The Community. The Presidents, The Politicians, The Military, Etc., Are All Jerking About, Acting As If They Are Lord Over Their Own Domains. That's Basically Problem One On The Planet.

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

I'd Rather Be One Of The Devotees Of God Than One Of The Straight, So-called Sane Or Normal People Who Just Don't Understand That Man Is A Spiritual Being, That He Has A Soul.

And The Time Will Come When You See, We’re All One, And Life Flows On Within You And Without You.

I Don't Want To Be Like You. I Look For The Pure Of Heart, And The Ones That Have Made A Start.

The Best Thing Anyone Can Give To Humanity Is God Consciousness. Then You Can Really Give Them Something. But First You Have To Concentrate On Your Own Spiritual Advancement; So In A Sense We Have To Become Selfish To Become Selfless.

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.

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

Be Healthy, Don't Eat Meat, Keep Away From Those Night-clubs And Meditate.

Make Love, Take Love, But You Should Give Love. And Try To Live Love.

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

I've Got My Mind Set On You. But It's Gonna Take Money, A Whole Lot Of Spending Money, It's Gonna Take Plenty Of Money.

Why Should God Be Limited? Even If You Get Him As Krishna, He Is Not Limited To That Picture Of Krishna. He Can Be The Baby Form, He Can Be Govinda And Manifest In So Many Other Well-known Forms. You Can See Krishna As A Little Boy, Which Is How I Like To See Krishna. It's A Joyful Relationship.

I Was Brought Up In The Kind Of Catholic Situation Up Until I Was About Eleven Years Old, Which Was That God Is This Thing That We're Never Going To See, We're Never Going To Meet, But You Still Have To Believe In What We Say. It's Like This Blind Faith In Something That They Can't Show You.

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

All Things Must Pass, All Things Must Pass Away.

All Things Must Pass

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

Prabhupada's Definitely Affected The World In An Absolute Way. What He Was Giving Us Was The Highest Literature, The Highest Knowledge. I Mean There Just Isn't Anything Higher.

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.

Be Straight With Yourself Just To Maybe Save A Few More People From Being Stupid And Being Ignorant.

The World Used Us As An Excuse To Go Mad.

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.

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

To Put Your Full Belief In Your Guru, Because It's For Your Own Good, Because You've Decided That... It's Just Having A Lot Of Respect For The Person And It's Like That With Music As Well...you Should Love Your Instrument And Respect It.

I Do Believe In Growing Old Gracefully, And When The Time Comes That I Would Look Silly Performing On Stage, I'll Be Prepared To Give It Up Without Regrets.

We Worked The Medley On Side Two Of "abbey Road" Out Carefully In Advance. All Of Those Mini Songs Were Partly Completed Tunes; Some Were Written While We Were In India A Year Before. So There Was Just A Bit Of Chorus Here And A Verse There. We Welded Them All Together Into A Routine.

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

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

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

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.

The Response That Comes From Chanting Is In The Form Of Bliss, Or Spiritual Happiness, Which Is A Much Higher Taste Than Any Happiness Found Here In The Material World. That's Why I Say That The More You Do It, The More You Don't Want To Stop, Because It Feels So Nice And Peaceful.

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.

I Always Felt At Home With Krishna. You See It Was Already A Part Of Me. I Think It's Something That's Been With Me From My Previous Birth.

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.

Everyone Has To Suffer The Gimmicks And Other Stunts And Machinations When They're Starting Out - Only At The Time, It Doesn't Feel Like Suffering; It's Fun And Different Then. But A Little Fame Goes A Long Way, And Then One Tries To Cast Off Part Of The Heavy Burden - A Burden One Can Never Totally Escape.

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

We'll Keep On Being Re-born Because For The Law Of Action And Reaction: "what-so-ever A Man Soweth, That Shall He Also Reap;" You Reap When You Come Back In Your Next Birth, What You've Sown In Your Previous Incarnation, That's Why I'm Me And You're You And He's Him And We Are All Whoever We Are.

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

Everybody Is Great Really And Has Got To Be Great.

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

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

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 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.

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

This Song Ain't Black Or White And As Far As I Know It Don't Infringe On Anyone's Copyright.

Krishna Is Dwelling In The Hearts Of Everybody. It Doesn't Matter What Kind Of Body You've Got, The Lord's There With You. We're All The Same Really.

The Beatles Will Exist Without Us.

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

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

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.

Everything Is Dinky Doo.

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

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

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.

If You Open Up Your Heart You Will Know What I Mean We've Been Polluted So Long But Here's A Way For You To Get Clean By Chanting The Names Of The Lord And You'll Be Free The Lord Is Awaiting On You All To Awaken And See.

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.

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

You Can Actually See God, And Hear Him, Play With Him. It Might Sound Crazy, But He Is Actually There.

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.

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

The Greatest Thing Anyone Can Give Humanity Is God Consciousness.

Hare Krishna, Peace And Love

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

If There Is A God

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.

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.

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

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

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

Vrndavana Is One Of The Holiest Cities In India. Everyone, Everywhere, Chants Hare Krishna. It Was My Most Fantastic Experience.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Prayer Is To Vibrate, Do The Devotion, Whatever It Is, To Whoever You Believe In, Christ Or Buddha Or Krishna Or Any Of Them. You Get The Response Depending On How Much You Need It.

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.

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!

You Can't Understand The First Thing About God Unless You Love Him. These Big So - Called Vedic Scholars - They Don't Necessarily Love Krishna, So They Can't Understand Him And Give Him To Us.

I Was Quite Responsible For Stirring Things Up. I Conspired To Get Ringo In For Good; I Talked To Paul And John Until They Came Round To The Idea.

All Religions Are Branches Of One Big Tree. It Doesn't Matter What You Call Him Just As Long As You Call.

Nobody Can Become A Drug Addict If They're Hip. Because It's Obvious That If You're Hip Then You've Got To Make It. The Buzz Of All Buzzes Which Is The Thing That Is God - You've Got To Be Straight To Get It.

That's It Really; It's All Love, Whichever Way You Look At It, It's All Love. How Much You Can Get From Each Other And That's Determined By How Much You're Giving To Each Other... But It All Starts Within Our Self And Then It Spreads To Those Around Us, Good & Bad. But Basically That's It, I Think It's The Love That We Can Generate Is = To The Love That We Get Back Amen

I Consider Myself Perfectly Normal, And I Don't Know Of Any Part Of My Life That Would Be So Unusual As To Interest The Idly Curious.

Perfectly Normal

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

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 This Morbid Side To The Way Many Represent Christianity Today, Where You Don't Smile, Because It's Too Serious, And You Can't Expect To See God - That Kind Of Stuff. If There Is God, We Must See Him, And I Don't Believe In The Idea You Find In Most Churches, Where They Say, "no, You're Not Going To See Him. He's Way Up Above You. Just Believe What We Tell You And Shut Up."

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.

If Your Dog Should Be Dead, I'm Gonna Love You Instead.

It Doesn't Really Matter What Chords I Play, What Words I Say Or Time Of Day It Is, As It's Only A Northern Song.

The Beatles Saved The World From Boredom.

The Saddest Thing Was Actually Getting Fed Up With One Another. It's Like Growing Up In A Family. When You Get To A Certain Age, You Want To Go Off And Get Your Own Girl And Your Own Car, Split Up A Bit.

The Amount Of Grace I Would Expect From God Should Be Equal To The Amount Of Grace I Can Gather Or Earn. I Get Out What I Put In.

I Think Prabhupada's Accomplishments Are Very Significant; They're Huge. Even Compared To Someone Like William Shakespeare, The Amount Of Literature Prabhupada Produced Is Truly Amazing. It Boggles The Mind. He Sometimes Went For Days With Only A Few Hours Sleep. I Mean Even A Youthful, Athletic Young Person Couldn't Keep The Pace He Kept Himself At Seventy-nine Years Of Age.

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

Badfinger Was Pretty Good. It Was A Very Sad Story, Though, Because The Guy, He Ended Up Killing Himself, Pete Ham, Who Was A Lovely Fellow, He Was A Good Guitar Player And A Great Singer, He Wrote, The Most Famous Tune I Would Imagine Is "without You", You Know The Harry Nilsson Record.

Chanting Hare Krishna Is Really The Same Sort Of Thing As Meditation, But I Think It Has A Quicker Effect. I Mean, Even If You Put Your Beads Down, You Can Still Say The Mantra Or Sing It Without Actually Keeping Track On Your Beads.

It's By Your Own Actions You're Able To Get More In A Mess Or Out Of One. It's Your Own Actions That Relieve Or Bind You.

I'm A Tidy Sort Of Bloke. I Don't Like Chaos. I Kept Records In The Record Rack, Tea In The Tea Caddy, And Pot In The Pot Box.

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

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

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

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

The Nicest Thing Is To Open The Newspapers And Not To Find Yourself In Them.

Finding Yourself

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 Like The Idea Of Seeing Krishna As A Baby, The Way He's Often Depicted In India. And Also Govinda, The Cowherd Boy. I Like The Idea That You Can Have Krishna As A Baby And Feel Protective To Him, Or As Your Friend, Or As The Guru Or Master - Type Figure.

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?

God Is Actually Inside. He Lives In Our Hearts.

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

Having Played With Other Musicians, I Don't Even Think The Beatles Were That Good.

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.

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

Christ Consciousness

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.

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.

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.

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

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

Purpose Of Life

It's God's Love Manifest In This World Through Everything That's In This World, And All The People In The World.

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

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

With Every Mistake, We Must Surely Be Learning.

I Want To Be Successful, Not Famous.

Being Successful

I Guess That's The Business Of Devotees - To Make You Think Of God.

We Can Go Up Or We Can Do Down. I Think Generally The World Is Going On An Upward Swing. We're In A Part Of A Cycle Where People Are Discovering More. The Communications Are Better. We're Getting More Into The Subtle Electricities That Control The Universe.

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

With Most Of The People You Just Communicate You Don't Have To Talk.

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.

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.

We Were The Spice Boys.

Anyway, There Is One Thing I Have Learned And That Is Not To Dress Uncomfortably, In Styles Which Hurt: Winklepicker Shoes That Cripple Your Feet And Tight Pants That Squash Your Balls. Indian Clothes Are Better.

Hallelujah And Hare Krishna Are Quite The Same Thing.

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.

There Was This Big Skiffle Craze Happening For A While In England.... Everybody Was In A Skiffle Group..all You Needed Was An Acoustic Guitar, A Washboard With Thimbles For Percussion, And A Tea-chest- You Know, The Ones They Used To Ship Tea From India- And You Just Put A Broom Handle On It And A Bit Of String, And You Had A Bass..you Only Needed Two Chords; Jing-jinga-jing Jing-jinga-jing Jing-jinga-jing Jing-jinga-jing. And I Think That's Basically Where I've Always Been At. I'm Just A Skiffler, You Know. Now I Do Posh Skiffle, That's All It Is.

Whatever You've Done, You Get It Back, So You Can Either Go On, Or You Can Blow It.

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.

Create And Preserve The Image Of Your Choice.

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

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.

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

So It's The Unwinding Of Your Nervous System. The Corresponding Experience To What Winds You Up Comes Out In Your Dreams. To Write A Song Then, Even One Like Don't Bother Me, Helps To Get Rid Of Some Subconscious Burden. Writing A Song Is Like Going To Confession.

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.

I Remember Thinking I Just Want More. This Isn't It. Fame Is Not The Goal. Money Is Not The Goal. To Be Able To Know How To Get Peace Of Mind, How To Be Happy, Is Something You Don't Just Stumble Across. You've Got To Search For It.

I Wouldn't Like To Say That I'm Absolutely God Conscious. It's Like Everybody Else. We're Battling With The Forces That Are Pulling Us Upwards And Downwards At The Same Time. But Basically We All Want Love, That's What I Feel.

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!

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