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.

More quotes by George Harrison
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.
George Harrison
My son looks more like George Harrison than I do.
George Harrison
The microscopes that magnified the tears, studied warts and all. Still life flows on.
George Harrison
It's easier to criticize somebody else, than to see yourself.
George Harrison
I was naive and thought we could express our feelings to each other- not suppress them and keep holding them back. Well, it was what I felt, and why should I be untrue to myself? I came to believe the importance that if you feel something strong enough then you should say it.
George Harrison
I didn't notice him coming, but he didn't seem to be looking for an autograph signature
George Harrison
I've heard that while the show was on there were no reported crimes, or very few. When The Beatles were on Ed Sullivan, even the criminals had a rest for ten minutes.
George Harrison
It takes a certain amount of time and faith to accept or to realize that there is no difference between Him and His name, to get to the point where you're no longer mystified by where He is. You know, like, Is He around here? You realize after some time, Here He is - right here! It's a matter of practice.
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
I never surf (the Net). I don't know the password.
George Harrison
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!
George Harrison
If God is unlimited, then He can appear in any form, whichever way He likes to appear.
George Harrison
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.
George Harrison
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.
George Harrison
I want the Pope to have the Christ consciousness. I don't want to just talk about Christ.
George Harrison
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.
George Harrison
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.
George Harrison
I still feel like everybody else, that I'm just growing and learning. Basically, I feel pleased to have discovered this thing that's inside me, that's connected to the same thing that's inside everybody and everything.
George Harrison
If you drop out you put yourself further away from the goal of life than if you were to keep working.
George Harrison
People are simply screwing up when they go out and buy beef steak, which is killing them with cancer and heart troubles. The stuff costs a fortune too. You could feed a thousand people with lentil soup for the cost of half a dozen filets. Does that make sense?
George Harrison
