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.

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

If There Is A God

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

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

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

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

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

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."

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.

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

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

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.

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.'

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.

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

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.

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.

With Our Love, We Could Save The World.

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 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.

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.

No Truth Could Ever Fear Me.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Krishna Consciousness Was Especially Good For Me Because I Didn't Get The Feeling That I'd Have To Shave My Head, Move Into A Temple, And Do It Full Time. So It Was A Spiritual Thing That Just Fit In With My Life-style. I Could Still Be A Musician, But I Just Changed My Consciousness, That's All.

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.

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

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

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.

Chanting Hare Krishna Can Make A Person A Better Christian.

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

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

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

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 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.

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.

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

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

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

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

Hallelujah And Hare Krishna Are Quite The Same Thing.

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.

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.

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?

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

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

All Things Must Pass, All Things Must Pass Away.

All Things Must Pass

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

None Of Us Are God - Just His Servants.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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."

Everybody Is Great Really And Has Got To Be Great.

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.

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

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

I Want To Be Successful, Not Famous.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

If 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.

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.

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.

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.'

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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 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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

Gossip Is The Devil's Radio.

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

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.

Throughout Much Of Our Lives, Our Association With The Temporary Has Risen. This Transitory Body, A Sack Of Bones And Flesh, Is Considered Erroneously As Our True Body And We Have Accepted This Temporary Condition As Conclusive.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

Hare Krishna, Peace And Love

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.

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

The Greatest Thing Anyone Can Give Humanity Is God Consciousness.

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

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

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

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

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.'

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

A Cloudburst Doesn't Last All Day. . .

All Things Must Pass

The Beatles Saved The World From Boredom.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

All I Got To Be Is Be Happy.

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

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

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.

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.

I Didn't Notice Him Coming, But He Didn't Seem To Be Looking For An Autograph Signature

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.

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

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

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.

"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.

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.

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

Do What You Want To Do, And Go Where You're Going To. Think For Yourself, 'cause I Won't Be There With You.

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

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

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

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!

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

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.
