Quote

The Beatles are now history, and it would be unhealthy to try to make my way as a former member. I must admit I occasionally listen to our records, but usually it's not deliberate. I'm more concerned with the present, with working out my own individual style and producing something new and worthwhile.

There's the whole significance of Krishna as the flute player who awakens our consciousness. It doesn't necessarily have to be a flute because for me it was a sitar or a guitar or even Elvis Presley doing Heartbreak Hotel. It was like Krishna's flute calling me somewhere. It's just really simple when we can remember.

Unless you're doing some kind of God conscious thing and you know that He's the one who's really in charge, you're just building up a lot of karma and not really helping yourself or anybody else.
George Harrison

Oh yeah, gossip. I heard you on the secret wireless. You know the devil's radio child.

The police are people as well. All those nasty people aren't really nasty if they'd realise it.

Image
I find the older one gets the harder it is to keep the weight off, even if one isn't eating very fattening foods. Once, I was able to put foods like those away, and they didn't show up on the bathroom scales the next morning. But that was when I was very physically active, travelling all over the world and burning up more calories.

It's easier to hurt someone and make them cry, than it is to dry their eyes.
George Harrison
Image
We don't, as a collective life on this planet, all get groovy together or all sink into ignorance together. One by one we liberate our souls, our individual souls, from the cycle by our own realizations.
George Harrison
Image
If God is unlimited, then He can appear in any form, whichever way He likes to appear.
George Harrison
Image
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.
George Harrison
Image
Whatever you've done, you get it back, so you can either go on, or you can blow it.
George Harrison
Image
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.
George Harrison

The aim is to get as much going out the back as is coming in. You've got to do that because for everything you get in you've got to give something out.
George Harrison
Image
Music is sound, vibrations, whereas paintings are vibrations of whatever you pick up. It's not actually an energy vibration you get from a groovy painting, but music and sound seem to travel along vibrations, you know the whole thing with mantras is to repeat and repeat those sounds... it's vibrations in everything like prayers and hymns.

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.

Hallelujah and Hare Krishna are quite the same thing.
George Harrison
Image
It's by your own actions you're able to get more in a mess or out of one. It's your own actions that relieve or bind you.
George Harrison
Image
The Guru and Disciple relationship is where the person has a 100% belief in the Guru and that way you put your trust in the Guru, that he's going to get you out of this mess. If you are a Christian, then Christ is your Guru, and they're all disciples of Christ.

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

I don't wear small shoes, or tight pants that squash your balls.

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.
