I would like to offer a somewhat odd interpretation of the song. I know that Harrison himself has said that the song was about his love for God, but taking a very spiritual interpretation...this song could kind of mean the acceptance of one's true self (beyond the singular "ego", of course). That is what the song reminds me of, personally. It is the idea that you search for something outside of yourself to guide you along, and then find that is within you as your deepest essence. I think lines like "Now I can see you, be you" are indicative of this type of interpretation, but I confess the view is biased by my own experiences with spirituality.
