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

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.

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.

Beware of sadness It can hit you It can hurt you Make you sore and what is more That is not what you are here for.

Without going out of my door, I can know all things on earth. Without looking out of my window I could know the ways of heaven. The farther one travels, The less one knows, the less one really knows.

Didn't want to be a star, wanted just to play guitar in this cockamamie business.

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.

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?

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.

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!

Life goes on within you and without you

I think the main thing that we have to do is try and train ourselves to remember from moment to moment that God is living within us and within everybody else, and just trying to remember to see that.

There's a bottomless heart hooked into all of you and it's wondering how much you care.
George Harrison

So it's the unwinding of your nervous system. The corresponding experience to what winds you up comes out in your dreams. To write a song then, even one like Don't Bother Me, helps to get rid of some subconscious burden. Writing a song is like going to confession.

I don't know how you were diverted You were perverted too. I don't know how you were inverted No one alerted you.

It's God's love manifest in this world through everything that's in this world, and all the people in the world.

If God is unlimited, then He can appear in any form, whichever way He likes to appear.
George Harrison
Image
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.

Everybody should just stay at home and meditate and they'd be so much happier.

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.
