“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.’”

The whole thing of life and all the answers to everything are in one divine law, Karma action and reaction.

The purpose of life is to find out ‘Who am I?’, ‘Why am I here?’ and ‘Where am I going?’

Having played with other musicians, I don’t even think The Beatles were that good.

It is an outrage that people can take other people’s lives when they obviously haven’t got their own lives in order.

It is better to be an outspoken atheist than a hypocrite.

God is actually inside. He lives in our hearts.

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.

Everyone should have themselves regularly overwhelmed by Nature.

Give me love, give me peace on earth, give me light, give me life.

We are not these bodies, just souls having a bodily experience.

Everybody is worried about dying, but the cause of death is birth, so if you don’t want to die, you don’t get born!

With our love, we could save the world.

It’s all in the mind.

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.

As long as you hate, there will be people to hate.

I believe in the Devil. I believe there’s a God, too. I met God at church – the Catholic Church.

I believe the history of American music is just as important as anything political because it’s changed generations of people.

I believe that whatever comes at a particular time is a blessing from God.

If you love what you do, and you believe in your talent, there’s nothing better than breaking through. There’s no better feeling than breaking through.

Who could ever think that not believing in myself was freedom.

I believe that music is God’s voice.

I am not one of those who believe that a great standing army is the means of maintaining peace, because if you build up a great profession those who form parts of it want to exercise their profession.

Thank you for believing in me the way I used to.
