I'm not really hip to too much of the Zen or the Buddhist point of view, but you see I don't have to be because I just know that they're all the same, it's all the same, it's just whichever one you want to take and it happens that I'm taking the Hindu one.

It's easier to tell a lie, than to tell the truth. It's easier to kill a fly, than it is to turn it loose.
George Harrison
Image
The Beatles exist apart from my Self. I am not really Beatle George. Beatle George is like a suit or shirt that I once wore on occasion and until the end of my life people may see that shirt and mistake it for me.

If wed known we were going to be The Beatles wed have tried harder.

When you've seen beyond yourself, then you may find, peace of mind is waiting there.

I keep stacks of Autobiography of a Yogi around the house, and I give it out constantly to people. When people need 'regrooving,' I say read this, because it cuts to the heart of every religion.

With our love, we could save the world.

All religions are branches of one big tree.

No-one knows what I do in my private, spare time, so I don't see why anyone would assume I'm celibate or somehow turning into a Garboesque character.

They used us as an excuse to go mad and then blamed it on us. Gandhi says create and preserve the image of your choice. The image of my choice is not Beatle George - those who want that can go and see Wings. Why live in the past? Be here now.

When you're open to something it's like being a beacon, and you attract it. From the first time I heard the chanting Hare Krishna, it was like a door opened somewhere in my subconscious, maybe from some previous life.

The first time I took LSD, it just blew everything away. I had such an incredible feeling of well-being.
George Harrison

People always say I'm the Beatle who changed the most, but really that's what I see life is about... you have to change.

God is actually inside. He lives in our hearts.

It just annoyed me that people got so into the Beatles. Beatles, Beatles, Beatles. It's not that I don't like talking about them. I've never stopped talking about them. It's Beatles this, Beatles that, Beatles, Beatles, Beatles, Beatles. Then in the end, it's like Oh, sod off with the Beatles, you know?

Even those of us who are very very aware are still so unaware. Everything's relative so that, the more you know, the more you know you don't know anything.

In the beginning was the word and that's the thing about Krishna, saying Krishna, Krishna, Krishna, Krishna, so it's not the word that you're saying, it's the sound: Krishna Krishna Krishna Krishna Krishna Krishna and it's just sounds and it's great.

A mind that wants to wander around a corner is an un-wise mind. Now, is, be here now.

We are not these bodies, just souls having a bodily experience.
