The Paramahansa Yogananada's Aphorism on the back cover:

The body melts into the universe.
The universe melts into the soundless voice.
The sound melts into the all-shining light.
And the light enters the bosom of infinite joy.

(from "Metaphysical Meditations)

Santana is a phenomenal among the guitar heroes.
His playing technique and the sound of his guitar
is so personal, easy to recognize. His first LP's
are classics, specially the Abraxas.
In 1973 he became disciple of Sri Chinmoy and had
a Indian name Devadip (The lamp and eye of God)
He played with many jazz musicians: in Weather
Report, With McLauglin etc. etc...
- and he's still making records.

The album is full of eastern mysticism: the titles of the tracks,
the Yogananda's aphorism, the cover art... - but the music - it's
quite typical Santana's style. Long guitar solos and high-flying
with the Latin percussions.
The A-side is played without breaks one track after another.
One of Santana's best records ever!

311 – Amber

Brainstorm, take me away from the norm
I got to tell you something
This phenomenon, I had to put it in a song
And it goes like

Whoa, amber is the color of your energy
Whoa, shades of gold displayed naturally
You ought to know what brings me here
You glide through my head blind to fear
And I know why

You live too far away
Your voice rings like a bell anyway
Don't give up your independence
Unless it feels so right
Nothing good comes easily
Sometimes you gotta fight

Launched a thousand ships in my heart
So easy, still it's fine from afar
And you know that
Whoa, brainstorm take me away from the norm
Whoa, I got to tell you something
