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.

More From George Harrison

"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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

In the army we are drilled into execution and then supervision, to make sure everything goes the way you planned it. but there is another thing that we do in the military, that i think perhaps isn't done enough in corporate life: as soon as you have made that decision, you start on the contingency planning. because there is, as we like to say, a thinking, breathing enemy out there, who is not going to let you do just what you want.

Society is a more level surface than we imagine. wise men or absolute fools are hard to be met with, as there are few giants or dwarfs. the heaviest charge we can bring against the general texture of society is that it is commonplace. our fancied superiority to others is in some one thing which we think most of because we excel in it, or have paid most attention to it; whilst we overlook their superiority to us in something else which they set equal and exclusive store by.

Doctors have told me i have a high pain threshold, but i can only know what i feel. i think i'm good at minimising the pain and being indifferent to it.

If you went to a home, kicked down the front door, chased the people who lived there out into the street and said, go! you are free! free as a bird! go! go! - do you think they would shout and dance for joy? they wouldn't. birds are not free. the people you've just evicted would sputter, with what right do you throw us out? this is our home. we own it. we have lived here for years. we're calling the police, you scoundrel.
