More quotes by George Harrison
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.
George Harrison
So it's really a process of actually having a realization of God, which all becomes clear with the expanded state of consciousness that develops when you chant.
George Harrison
A mind that wants to wander around a corner is an un-wise mind. Now, is, be here now.
George Harrison
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.
George Harrison
Here are some funny songs, there are some songs that we didn't even remember. I heard this song that Ringo is singing, I still don't know the title of it, but it is got the most amazing lyrics and it's a quite a good production. And quite a good tun
George Harrison
Ultimately the love can become so big that we can love the whole of creation instead of 'I love this but I don't like that.'
George Harrison
Life is like a rain drop on a lotus leaf. Everybody realises that you're either very lucky person or you're not.
George Harrison
Prayer is to vibrate, do the devotion, whatever it is, to whoever you believe in, Christ or Buddha or Krishna or any of them. You get the response depending on how much you need it.
George Harrison
Everyone has to suffer the gimmicks and other stunts and machinations when they're starting out - only at the time, it doesn't feel like suffering it's fun and different then. But a little fame goes a long way, and then one tries to cast off part of the heavy burden - a burden one can never totally escape.
George Harrison
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.
George Harrison
All love is really God's love.
George Harrison
The whole thing of life and all the answers to everything are in one divine law, Karma action and reaction.
George Harrison
The amount of grace I would expect from God should be equal to the amount of grace I can gather or earn. I get out what I put in.
George Harrison
Yesterday, today was tomorrow. And tomorrow, today will be yesterday.
George Harrison
You can actually see God, and Hear Him, play with Him. It might sound crazy, but He is actually there.
George Harrison
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.
George Harrison
Scan not a friend with a microscopic glass, you know his faults, now let the foibles pass.
George Harrison
Badfinger was pretty good. It was a very sad story, though, because the guy, he ended up killing himself, Pete Ham, who was a lovely fellow, he was a good guitar player and a great singer, he wrote, the most famous tune I would imagine is Without You, you know the Harry Nilsson record.
George Harrison
Stop thinking that if Britain or America or Russia or the West or whatever becomes superior, then we'll beat them, and then we'll all have a rest and live happily ever after. That doesn't work.
George Harrison
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.
