Hare Krishna, Peace And Love

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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 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.'

Hippies Are So Phoney And Fake.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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 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.

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

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.

The Beatles Will Go On And On.

Sometimes, You Release An Album And The Record Company Just About Ignores It, And So Many People Don't Even Know It's Out. And I'm Not About To Jump Up And Down Shouting, "hey Folks, Look At Me! I'm Cool And Groovy!" That's Not What George Harrison Is All About.

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

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.

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

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.

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

George: [on The 'two Virgins' Cover] 'what I Thought Of The Sleeve Then Was The Same As I Think Now: It's Just Two Not-very-nice-looking Bodies, Two Flabby Bodies Naked. It's Harmless, Really - Different Strokes For Different Folks.

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

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.

God Is Actually Inside. He Lives In Our Hearts.

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

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?

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.

What Would You Call This Haircut?" Arthur.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

People Have To Have A Desire Within Themselves To Know Who They Are And The Reason Why They Are In This Body.

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

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.

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'm Only Myself When I Have A Guitar In My Hands.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

There's The Whole Significance Of Krishna As The Flute Player Who Awakens Our Consciousness. It Doesn't Necessarily Have To Be A Flute Because For Me It Was A Sitar Or A Guitar Or Even Elvis Presley Doing "heartbreak Hotel." It Was Like Krishna's Flute Calling Me Somewhere. It's Just Really Simple When We Can Remember.

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

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.

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."

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.

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

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."

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.

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

Everyone Should Have Themselves Regularly Overwhelmed By Nature

I Was So Young When I Was Born.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

We Have The Same Qualities As God, Just Like A Drop Of The Ocean Has The Same Qualities As The Whole Ocean. Everybody's Looking For Something And We Are It. We Don't Have To Look Anywhere--it's Right There Within Ourselves.

Love One Another (his Last Words)

Love One Another

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

It's Being Here Now That's Important. There's No Past And There's No Future. All There Is Ever, Is The Now.

Hope For The Future

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.'

Many People Fear The Words Lord And God.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Gossip Is The Devil's Radio.

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

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.

We Were The Spice Boys.

No Truth Could Ever Fear Me.

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.

"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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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 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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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?

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.

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

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.

If Wed Known We Were Going To Be The Beatles Wed Have Tried Harder.

The Beatles Are Now History, And It Would Be Unhealthy To Try To Make My Way As A Former Member. I Must Admit I Occasionally Listen To Our Records, But Usually It's Not Deliberate. I'm More Concerned With The Present, With Working Out My Own Individual Style And Producing Something New And Worthwhile.

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

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

Killing Someone

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

I Want To Be Successful, Not Famous.

Being Successful

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

Finding Yourself

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.

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.

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.

The Beatles Will Exist Without Us.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

America Has Everything, Why Should They Want Us.

Everything Is Dinky Doo.

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.

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

"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.

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

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.

A Cloudburst Doesn't Last All Day. . .

All Things Must Pass

All Things Must Pass, All Things Must Pass Away.

All Things Must Pass

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.

With Our Love, We Could Save The World.

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.

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.

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