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.

More From George Harrison

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

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.

God's All Happiness, All Bliss, And By Chanting His Names We Connect With Him. 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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

The Greatest Thing Anyone Can Give Humanity Is God Consciousness.

We Are All One, I Mean Communication, Just The Realisation Of Human Love Reciprocated, It's Such A Gas, It's A Good Vibration Which Makes You Feel Good. These Vibrations That You Get Through Yoga, Cosmic Chants And Things Like That. I Mean It's Such A Buzz, It Buzzes You Out Of Everywhere. It's Nothing To Do With Pills Or Anything Like That. It's Just In Your Own Head, The Realisation, It's Such A Buzz, It Buzzes You Right Into The Astral Plane.

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.

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

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.

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.

America Has Everything, Why Should They Want Us.

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

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

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

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 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.

There's A Bottomless Heart Hooked Into All Of You And It's Wondering How Much You Care.

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.

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.

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.

A Little Understanding Of "as You Sow, So Shall You Reap" Is Important, Because Then You Can't Blame The Condition You're In On Anyone Else.

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.

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

I Always Really Enjoyed Our Early Days, Before We Got Too Famous. We Used To Play Clubs And That Kind Of Stuff All The Time. And It Was Fun. It Was Good Because You Get To Play And Get Quite Good At The Instrument. But Then We Got Famous, And It Spoiled All That, Because We'd Just Go Round And Round The World Singing The Same 10 Dopey Tunes.

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."

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

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.

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

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

Sometimes I Feel Like I’m Actually On The Wrong Planet. It’s Great When I’m In My Garden, But The Minute I Go Out The Gate I Think, ‘what The Hell Am I Doing Here?

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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

We Were Talking About The Space Between Us All And The People Who Hide Themselves Behind A Wall Of Illusion. Never Glimpse The Truth - Then It's Far Too Late When They Pass Away.

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.'

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The Beatles Will Exist Without Us.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

Gossip Is The Devil's Radio.

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.

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'

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

My Mum Did Encourage Me, Perhaps Most Of All By Never Discouraging Me From Anything I Wanted To Do. If You Tell Kids Not To, They're Going To Do It In The End Anyway. I'd Finished All That Staying-out-all-night-drinking Bit When Everybody Else Came To It. Probably Why I Don't Like Alcohol Today. I Had It All By The Age Of 10.

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.

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 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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

If You Visit A Temple, You Can See Pictures Of God, You Can See The Deity Form Of The Lord, And You Can Just Hear Him By Listening To Yourself And Others Say The Mantra. It's Just A Way Of Realizing That All The Senses Can Be Applied Toward Perceiving God, And It Makes It That Much More Appealing, Seeing The Pictures, Hearing The Mantra, Smelling The Incense, Flowers, And So On.

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

I Know, By The Lord's Grace, I Am A Small Part In The Cosmic Play.

Rap Music Is Just Computerised Crap. I Listen To Top Of The Pops And After Three Songs I Feel Like Killing Someone.

Killing Someone

It's Easier To Hurt Someone And Make Them Cry, Than It Is To Dry Their Eyes.

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

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

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

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.

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 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 Was So Young When I Was Born.

All Things Must Pass.

All Things Must Pass

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

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.

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

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

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

Hippies Are So Phoney And Fake.

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?

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.

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.

All Things Must Pass, All Things Must Pass Away.

All Things Must Pass

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

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.

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

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

Many People Fear The Words Lord And God.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Life Goes On Within You And Without You

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.

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.

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'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.

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.

We're Now The Results Of Our Past Actions, And In The Future We'll Be The Results Of The Actions We're Performing Now.

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.

Beware Of Sadness It Can Hit You It Can Hurt You Make You Sore And What Is More That Is Not What You Are Here For.

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.'

With Our Love, We Could Save The World.

All Religions Are Branches Of One Big Tree.

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.

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.

I Wanted To Be Successful, Not Famous.

Being Successful

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.

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

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!

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

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.

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

Everybody Is Great Really And Has Got To Be Great.

Hallelujah And Hare Krishna Are Quite The Same Thing.

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.

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

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.

What Would You Call This Haircut?" Arthur.

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.

Create And Preserve The Image Of Your Choice.

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.

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

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.

None Of Us Are God - Just His Servants.

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

The Lord Loves The One That Loves The Lord And The Law Says If You Don't Give, Then You Don't Get Loving Now The Lord Helps Those That Help Themselves And The Law Says Whatever You Do It Comes Right Back On You

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

Everything Is Dinky Doo.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

The Beatles Will Go On And On.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

A Cloudburst Doesn't Last All Day. . .

All Things Must Pass

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

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.

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

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.

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

Purpose Of Life

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.

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

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.
