Quote

I'm really quite simple. I don't want to be in the business full time because I'm a gardener. I plant flowers and watch them grow. I don't go out to clubs and partying. I stay at home and watch the river flow.

I want the Pope to have the Christ consciousness. I don't want to just talk about Christ.
George Harrison

One of the main differences between silent meditation and chanting is that silent meditation is rather dependent on concentration, but when you chant, it's more of a direct connection with God.
George Harrison
Image
The response that comes from chanting is in the form of bliss, or spiritual happiness, which is a much higher taste than any happiness found here in the material world. That's why I say that the more you do it, the more you don't want to stop, because it feels so nice and peaceful.

That's the real beauty of chanting - you directly connect with God. I have no doubt that by saying Krishna over and over again, He can come and dance on the tongue. The main thing, though, is to keep in touch with God.

It's wonderful to look back and think you were part of a force that shaped modern music and influenced the public in so many ways. However, that's all in the past.
George Harrison
Image
It's being here now that's important. There's no past and there's no future. Time is a very misleading thing. All there is ever, is the now. We can gain experience from the past, but we can't relive it and we can hope for the future, but we don't know if there is one.

It's easier to criticize somebody else, than to see yourself.

Sometimes I feel like I’m actually on the wrong planet. It’s great when I’m in my garden, but the minute I go out the gate I think, ‘What the hell am I doing here?
George Harrison
Image
Wherever I go in the world, when I see devotees, I always say Hare Krishna! to them, and they're always pleased to see me. It's a nice relationship. Whether they really know me personally or not, they feel they know me. And they do, really.

It's easier to hurt someone and make them cry, than it is to dry their eyes.
George Harrison
Image
We used to send up the idea of getting to the top. John would shout, Where are we going, fellas? We'd shout back, To the top, Johnny!

Krishna is God, so He's absolute: His name, His form, prasadam, it's all Him.

Life goes on within you and without you

We'll keep on being re-born because for the law of action and reaction: What-so-ever a man soweth, that shall he also reap you reap when you come back in your next birth, what you've sown in your previous incarnation, that's why I'm me and you're you and he's him and we are all whoever we are.

Nobody can become a drug addict if they're hip. Because it's obvious that if you're hip then you've got to make it. The buzz of all buzzes which is the thing that is God - you've got to be straight to get it.

I can see the Beatles sticking together forever, really. We've been together a long time.

Man can become purified, and with divine vision he can see God. You get pure by chanting, then you see Him.

Create and preserve the image of your choice.

Sunrise doesn't last all morning, a cloudburst doesn't last all day, seems my love is up and has left you with no warning. It's not always going to be this grey. All things must pass, all things must pass away.

Although I have guitars all around and I pick themm up occasionally and write a tune and make a record, I don't really see myself as a musician. It may seem a funny thing to say. It's just like, I write lyrics amd I make up songs, but I'm not a great lyricist or songwriter or producer. It's when you put all these things together - that makes me.
