The world is a very serious and, at times, very sad place - but at other times it is all such a joke.

I'm a tidy sort of bloke. I don't like chaos. I kept records in the record rack, tea in the tea caddy, and pot in the pot box.

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.

Hippies are so phoney and fake.

Each individual has to burn out his own karma and escape from the chains of maya (illusion), reincarnation, and all that.

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.

You've got as many lives as you like, and more, even ones you don't want.
