I Wanted To Be Successful, Not Famous.

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.

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."

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.

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.
