Quote

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.

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.

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
The action that I've started, sometime I'll have to face. My influence in motion, rebounding back through space.
George Harrison
Image
Food is less important to me because I've learned to control my appetite to a great extent, simply by having my mind elsewhere. I find when I'm busy meditating on other aspects of my life I go without eating and I don't miss it.

If God is in everything, why shouldn't you taste Him when you eat?

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.

Whatever you've done, you get it back, so you can either go on, or you can blow it.

After all we did for Britain, selling that corduroy and making it swing, all we got was a bit of tin on a piece of leather.

No matter how good you are, you still need grace to get out of the material world. You can be a yogi or a monk or a nun, but without God's grace you still can't make it.
George Harrison
Image
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.

Indian music is brilliant and for me, anyway, (this is only personal) it's got everything in it. I still like electronics and all sorts of music if it's good but Indian music is just... an untouchable you can't say what it is, because it just is.

The idea that you wake up and it happens that you're Queen, it's amazing but you could all be Queens if you imagined it.

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.

Prabhupada's definitely affected the world in an absolute way. What he was giving us was the highest literature, the highest knowledge. I mean there just isn't anything higher.

I had no ambition when I was a kid other than to play guitar and get in a rock 'n' roll band. I don't really like to be the guy in the white suit at the front. Like in the Beatles, I was the one who kept quiet at the back and let the other egos be at the front.

Life is like a rain drop on a lotus leaf. Everybody realises that you're either very lucky person or you're not.

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.

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?
