If God had so wished, he would have made all Indians speak with one language ... the unity of India has been and shall always be a unity in diversity.

Let us work together for unity and love.

Only humility will lead us to unity, and unity will lead to peace.

A song is a mantra, something you repeat over and over. We need peace, we need giving, we need love, we need unity. I want the whole world to sing this song.

What I'm not confused about is the world needing much more love, no hate, no prejudice, no bigotry and more unity, peace and understanding. Period.

Musically I was fed up with the virtuoso thing. Our gigs had become nothing more than an excuse for us to show off as individuals, and any sense of unity we might have had when we started seemed to have gone out the window.
