I am confident I do not understand this song. It is one of the most serene collections of thoughts ever written. To incorporate a Hindu Transcendental Meditation Mantra into a rock song is genius. I don’t think anyone else could do it. I don’t think anyone else ever would ever think if it.

John sees it all, for prosperity. A flow of ideas and thoughts, emotions, and virtues. He can see it, Jai Guru Deva, OM. The purpose of the Transcendental Meditation Mantra is to clear your mind. Open your mind. See the power of your mind. Close your eyes, look up to the skies, take a deep breath and sing, Jai Guru Deva, OM. You will feel it.

Your mind is now open. You can see that anything is possible and that is a good thing. Yet John brings in, Nothing’s gonna change my world, right in the middle on his mantra. Four times stomping on the mantra with, nothing’s gonna change my world.

It's like he is saying the cosmic world links all of us together. Thoughts, ideas, love, like a restless wind fluttering in a mail box. And I can do without it. Nothing’s gonna change my world.

He ends the song with, Jai Guru Deva, without the mantra, OM. Maybe he is saying, I don’t want in or just let it flow by me. John said, This is not his song. It just came to him. His comments, “[The words] were purely inspirational and were given to me as boom! I don't own it you know; it came through like that.”

History documents how many times, many people, have had the same idea at the same time. When John opened his mind, OM, he saw it all. OM has a strong environmental effect which is OK if chanted in a group. But if used as a personal, internal mantra, it is suited for those wanting to be withdrawn from active life.

The song is beautiful. I can almost see what he saw, feel what he felt. I do not think he wanted to be part of what he was experiencing.

Think about it, nothing’s gonna change my world. Everything is going to change. Everyday we are on a journey of change. John Lennon knows that better than your average Beatle. So why is he sad. The chorus makes me cry. Perhaps he does not want to be part of it.

John expresses, Joy, Peace, Tranquility Love, and Release. All in this song. Those are the five mantras of Hindu meditation. This song is genius as was the Walrus himself.
