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.

More From George Harrison

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Hallelujah And Hare Krishna Are Quite The Same Thing.

If God Is In Everything, Why Shouldn't You Taste Him When You Eat?

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

Love One Another (his Last Words)

Love One Another

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 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.

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.

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

The World Used Us As An Excuse To Go Mad.

All I Got To Be Is Be Happy.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

I Wouldn't Like To Say That I'm Absolutely God Conscious. It's Like Everybody Else. We're Battling With The Forces That Are Pulling Us Upwards And Downwards At The Same Time. But Basically We All Want Love, That's What I Feel.

The 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 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.

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

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

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

Christ Consciousness

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.

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

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

There's A Fire That Burns Away The Lies, Manifesting In The Spiritual Eye.

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.

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

People Are Simply Screwing Up When They Go Out And Buy Beef Steak, Which Is Killing Them With Cancer And Heart Troubles. The Stuff Costs A Fortune Too. You Could Feed A Thousand People With Lentil Soup For The Cost Of Half A Dozen Filets. Does That Make Sense?

No Truth Could Ever Fear Me.

None Of Us Are God - Just His Servants.

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

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

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

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

All Religions Are Branches Of One Big Tree.

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.

Create And Preserve The Image Of Your Choice.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

Killing Someone

With Our Love, We Could Save The World.

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.

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 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.

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.

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

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

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'

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Chanting Hare Krishna Can Make A Person A Better Christian.

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

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.

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.

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.

"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.

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

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

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

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.

Gossip Is The Devil's Radio.

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. ... You Make It Heaven Or You Make It Hell By Your Actions.

America Has Everything, Why Should They Want Us.

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.

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

How Long It Will Take Until We Get To A Golden Age Where Everybody's Perfectly In Tune With God's Will, I Don't Know; But Because Of Prabhupada, Krishna Consciousness Has Certainly Spread More In The Last Sixteen Years Than It Has Since The Sixteenth Century, Since The Time Of Lord Caitanya. The Mantra Has Spread More Quickly And The Movement's Gotten Bigger And Bigger.

A Cloudburst Doesn't Last All Day. . .

All Things Must Pass

Just Take The Music, The Goodness, Because It's The Very Best, And It's The Part I Give Most Willingly.

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.

Didn't Want To Be A Star, Wanted Just To Play Guitar In This Cockamamie Business.

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.

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

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.

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.'

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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 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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The Biggest Break In My Career Was Getting Into The Beatles In 1962. The Second Biggest Break Since Then Is Getting Out Of Them.

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

If There Is A God

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

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.

Now It May Seem So Far From Where We All Are It's Something We Can't Neglect It's Something I Can't Neglect Now Won't You Give Some Bread To Get The Starving Fed

I Was So Young When I Was Born.

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

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

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

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

We Worked The Medley On Side Two Of "abbey Road" Out Carefully In Advance. All Of Those Mini Songs Were Partly Completed Tunes; Some Were Written While We Were In India A Year Before. So There Was Just A Bit Of Chorus Here And A Verse There. We Welded Them All Together Into A Routine.

All Things Must Pass, All Things Must Pass Away.

All Things Must Pass

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.

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

Food Is Less Important To Me Because I've Learned To Control My Appetite To A Great Extent, Simply By Having My Mind Elsewhere. I Find When I'm Busy Meditating On Other Aspects Of My Life I Go Without Eating And I Don't Miss It.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

God Is Actually Inside. He Lives In Our Hearts.

Everybody Is Great Really And Has Got To Be Great.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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?

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

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

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.

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 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.

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

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

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

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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 Always Say I'm The Beatle Who Changed The Most, But Really That's What I See Life Is About... You Have To Change.

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.

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

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

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.

Hare Krishna, Peace And Love

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.
