The text is a rendering of Tsu's accumulated wisdom; it forms the basis for much of Chinese thought and philosophy, focused on the spiritual aspect of life.\n\nNone of the Beatles played on this track; all the music was recorded by Indian session musicians at the EMI studios in Bombay, India, while Harrison was working on the soundtrack to the movie Wonderwall. Harrison come up with the tune based on how the lyric made him feel; he took the recording back to England, where his lead vocal was added along with John Lennon and Paul McCartney's backing vocals.\n\nInstruments used on this track include harmonium, shehnai, tabla, sarod, and flute.\n\nThe original release was in mono; a stereo version was mixed in 1970 and used on the Past Masters compilation.
