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.

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'

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

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.

"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.

The Only Thing We Really Have To Work At In This Life Is How To Manifest Love.

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

Chanting Hare Krishna Can Make A Person A Better Christian.

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.'

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

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."

I Think The Main Thing That We Have To Do Is Try And Train Ourselves To Remember From Moment To Moment That God Is Living Within Us And Within Everybody Else, And Just Trying To Remember To See That.

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

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.

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

Many People Fear The Words Lord And God.

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.

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

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

If There Is A God

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

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.

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.

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 More I Go Inside, The More There Is To See.

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.

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

Each Individual Has To Burn Out His Own Karma And Escape From The Chains Of Maya (illusion), Reincarnation, And All That.

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

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.

I Want To Be Successful, Not Famous.

Being Successful

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.

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

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

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

I Have Suffered For This Book; Now It's Your Turn.

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.

All Things Must Pass.

All Things Must Pass

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.

All Things Must Pass, All Things Must Pass Away.

All Things Must Pass

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

Chanting Hare Krishna Is A Type Of Meditation That Can Be Practiced Even If The Mind Is In Turbulence. You Can Even Be Doing It And Other Things At The Same Time. That's What's So Nice. In My Life There's Been Many Times The Mantra Brought Things Around. It Keeps Me In Tune With Reality, And The More You Sit In One Place And Chant, The More Incense You Offer To Krishna In The Same Room, The More You Purify The Vibration, The More You Can Achieve What You're Trying To Do, Which Is Just Trying To Remember God, God, God, God, God, As Often As Possible.

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.

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

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.

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.

My Life Belongs The Lord Krishna Now. I'm Just The Servant Of Krishna. I've Never Been So Humble In All My Life, And I Feel Great!

If You Drive A Car, I'll Tax The Street; If You Try To Sit, I'll Tax Your Seat; If You Get Too Cold, I'll Tax The Heat; If You Take A Walk, I'll Tax Your Feet.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

The World Is A Very Serious And, At Times, Very Sad Place - But At Other Times It Is All Such A Joke.

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.

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.

Life Goes On Within You And Without You

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

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.

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

You're Asking Me Will My Love Grow. I Don't Know, I Don't Know. You Stick Around Now It May Show. I Don't Know, I Don't Know

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

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

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

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.

None Of Us Are God - Just His Servants.

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.

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

I'll Play What You Want Or I Won't Play At All.

Unless You're Doing Some Kind Of God Conscious Thing And You Know That He's The One Who's Really In Charge, You're Just Building Up A Lot Of Karma And Not Really Helping Yourself Or Anybody Else.

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

Hippies Are So Phoney And Fake.

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

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

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

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.

God Is Actually Inside. He Lives In Our Hearts.

With Every Mistake, We Must Surely Be Learning.

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.

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 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.

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.

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

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 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.

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.

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 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

Love, Come And Get It, It's Free.

Why Live In The Darkness All Your Life? Why, If You Are Unhappy, If You Are Having A Miserable Time, Why Not Just Look At It? Why Are You In The Darkness? Look For The Light. The Light Is Within.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

Dear One, Near Me, Truth Assessed, Reborn Worldwise, Mind At Rest. True Heart Sow You, God Has Blessed, Your Soul Whispers, Love Confessed.

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.

People Have To Have The Desire Within Themselves To Find Out Who They Are. Who Am I And What Am I Doing Here And Where Am I Going? Those Sort Of Basic Questions. Even Without Picking Up A Book Or Anything. If They Just Ask Themselves That Sincerely, In The Quiet Of The Night, The Door Will Open.

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.

Hare Krishna, Peace And Love

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

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.

The World Used Us As An Excuse To Go Mad.

The Beatles Will Exist Without Us.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

The Best Thing You Can Give Is God Consciousness. Manifest Your Own Divinity First. The Truth Is There. It's Right Within Us All. Understand What You Are.

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

Purpose Of Life

Everything Is Dinky Doo.

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.

Indian Music Is Brilliant And For Me, Anyway, (this Is Only Personal) It's Got Everything In It. I Still Like Electronics And All Sorts Of Music If It's Good But Indian Music Is Just... An Untouchable You Can't Say What It Is, Because It Just Is.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.'

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.

Srila Prabhupada Has Already Had An Amazing Effect On The World. There's No Way Of Measuring It. One Day I Just Realized, "god, This Man Is Amazing!" He Would Sit Up All Night Translating Sanskrit Into English, Putting In Glossaries To Make Sure Everyone Understands It, And Yet He Never Came Off As Someone Above You.

The Thing That Pleases Me The Most About It Is That Young People Like It. It's Given Kids From 6 To 16 An Alternate View Of Music To What's Been Available For The Past 20 Years.

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.

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.

Yesterday, Today Was Tomorrow. And Tomorrow, Today Will Be Yesterday.

If You Drop Out You Put Yourself Further Away From The Goal Of Life Than If You Were To Keep Working.

All I Got To Be Is Be Happy.

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.

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

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

I Believe I Love My Guitar More Than The Others Love Theirs. For John And Paul, Songwriting Is Pretty Important And Guitar Playing Is A Means To An End. While They're Making Up New Tunes I Can Thoroughly Enjoy Myself Just Doodling Around With A Guitar For A Whole Evening. I'm Fascinated By New Sounds I Can Get From Different Instruments I Try Out. I'm Not Sure That Makes Me Particularly Musical. Just Call Me A Guitar Fanatic Instead, And I'll Be Satisfied.

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

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.

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

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?

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.

It Is An Outrage That People Can Take Other People's Lives When They Obviously Haven't Got Their Own Lives In Order.

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

The Beatles Exist Apart From My Self. I Am Not Really Beatle George. Beatle George Is Like A Suit Or Shirt That I Once Wore On Occasion And Until The End Of My Life People May See That Shirt And Mistake It For Me.

The Greatest Thing Anyone Can Give Humanity Is God Consciousness.

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.

I Used To Think That Having Many Material Things Would Increase One's Stock Of Happiness. I Found That To Be Completely Untrue. The Trappings Don't Make The Man At All.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

Long Time Ago When We Were Fab, Back When Income Tax Was All We Had.

Prasadam's A Good Little Hook In This Age Of Commercialism. When People Want Something Extra, Or They Need To Have Something Special, Prasadam Will Hook Them In There. It's Undoubtedly Done A Great Deal Toward Getting A Lot More People Involved In Spiritual Life.

"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.

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

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

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

It's A Matter Of Turning Your Consciousness Inward In Order To Then Realize That God Is In There, And Then You Can See Him Outside Too. It's Just A Shift In Attitude, Really.

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

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.

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

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.
