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.

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

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

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?

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

Life Goes On Within You And Without You

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.'

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.

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

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.

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

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.

Gossip Is The Devil's Radio.

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

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

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?

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

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.

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.

Hallelujah And Hare Krishna Are Quite The Same Thing.

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

With Our Love, We Could Save The World.

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.

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

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.

Everything Is Dinky Doo.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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

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

Christ Consciousness

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

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.

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.

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

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.

I Was So Young When I Was Born.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

America Has Everything, Why Should They Want Us.

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

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

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'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.

Once I Chanted The Hare Krishna Mantra All The Way From France To Portugal, Nonstop. I Drove For About Twenty-three Hours And Chanted All The Way. It Gets You Feeling A Bit Invincible. The Funny Thing Was That I Didn't Even Know Where I Was Going. I Mean I Had Bought A Map, And I Knew Basically Which Way I Was Aiming, But I Couldn't Speak French, Spanish, Or Portuguese. But None Of That Seemed To Matter. You Know, Once You Get Chanting, Then Things Start To Happen Transcendentally.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

The World Used Us As An Excuse To Go Mad.

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

A Cloudburst Doesn't Last All Day. . .

All Things Must Pass

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

The Beatles Will Exist Without Us.

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 Greatest Thing Anyone Can Give Humanity Is God Consciousness.

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.'

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

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

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.

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.

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.

None Of Us Are God - Just His Servants.

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.

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.

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'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.

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.

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

The Beatles Will Go On And On.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

No Truth Could Ever Fear Me.

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

All Things Must Pass.

All Things Must Pass

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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 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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Friends Are All Souls That We've Known In Other Lives. We're Drawn To Each Other. Even If I Have Only Known Them A Day, It Doesn't Matter. I'm Not Going To Wait Till I Have Known Them For Two Years, Because Anyway, We Must Have Met Somewhere Before, You Know.

"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.

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

If There Is A God

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.

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'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.

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

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

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'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.

Wherever I Go In The World, When I See Devotees, I Always Say "hare Krishna!" To Them, And They're Always Pleased To See Me. It's A Nice Relationship. Whether They Really Know Me Personally Or Not, They Feel They Know Me. And They Do, Really.

Everybody Is Great Really And Has Got To Be Great.

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.

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

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

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.

You Go On Being Reincarnated Until You Reach The Actual Truth. Heaven And Hell Are Just A State Of Mind. We Are All Here To Become Christ-like. The Actual World Is An Illusion.

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

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."

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'

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

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

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

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.

Chanting Hare Krishna Can Make A Person A Better Christian.

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 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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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

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 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.

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!

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

Purpose Of Life

God Is Actually Inside. He Lives In Our Hearts.

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.

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.

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 Wanted To Be Successful, Not Famous.

Being Successful

Hippies Are So Phoney And Fake.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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