    I see goerge harrison as praying and talking with god, knowing there is so much to accomplish spiritually before the final merge with god - no matter what name he is called by. Spirituality is a gradual growth. By any name, god is god. He answers by all names and he was never land will never be limited by form or name, and george harriso recognized him as one in all. He was definitely very advanced spiritually and loved god. It is also my understanding that he loved bhagavahan sri sathya sai baba and he was a major inspiration in his life. Recently, a video of darshans of sri sathya sai baba was released with this song in the background. That showed his love and respect for him.

    I think he is trying to convey that he does not want to focus on the temporal things in this life, but to build his spirit, and to become closer to god. I believe he was saying that all roads lead to god, no matter what your "religion", it is more about faith, than dogma. Krishna is a sanskrit word for god, so no matter what you practice, practice it with your total being.

    A note for a previous answer, Krishna is not "a sanskrit word for god", it's a personal name of one of the gods or more precisely, one of Avatars (incarnations) of god Vishnu. Vishnu/Krishna is one of the Hindu gods, a member of Trimurti, that is three of the most powerful gods and some people do worship him as the Supreme Lord.
