I felt that the elegance of pop music was that it was reflective: we were holding up a mirror to our audience and reflecting them philosophically and spiritually rather than just reflecting society or something called 'rock and roll.'

My job in this life is to give people spiritual ecstasy through music. In my concerts people cry laugh dance. If they climaxed spiritually I did my job. I did it decently and honestly.

I don't have any real spirituality in my life - I'm kind of an atheist - but when music can take me to the highest heights it's almost like a spiritual feeling. It fills that void for me.

Hip-Hop isn't just music it is also a spiritual movement of the blacks! You can't just call Hip-Hop a trend!

Music is mediator between spiritual and sensual life.

But I feel music has a very important role in ritual activity and that being able to join in musical activity along with dancing could have been necessary at a very early stage of human culture.

Music is the wine which inspires one to new generative processes and I am Bacchus who presses out this glorious wine for mankind and makes them spiritually drunken.

Music is the mediator between the spiritual and the sensual life.

Music is very spiritual it has the power to bring people together.

The goal of spiritual practice is full recovery and the only thing you need to recover from is a fractured sense of self.

I think a spiritual journey is not so much a journey of discovery. It's a journey of recovery. It's a journey of uncovering your own inner nature. It's already there.

Movies about space raise those questions of what we're doing here and that inevitably introduces a spiritual dimension.

You know what I like to do on a Sunday morning? Clean my house. I really enjoy it it's my ritual. I require tidiness actually. I have to have everything spotless before I can relax.

But you know they don't enjoy the dinner hour together. It's just not as much of a ritual at night and it's interesting. I think the ritual is taking place perhaps more in the morning.

Spirituality does two things for you. One you are forced to become more selfless two you trust to providence. The opposite of a spiritual man is a materialist. If I was a materialist I would be making lots of money doing endorsements doing cricket commentary. I have no interest in that.

A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual doom.

It's a kind of spiritual snobbery that makes people think they can be happy without money.
