- On July 24, 1997, George Harrison came by the studio and give this interview. That same year (one month later), Harrison was diagnosed with throat cancer. He died in 2001. Harrison appeared with his old friend Ravi Shankar (he had just produced Shankar’s "Chants of India"). The interviewer is John Fugelsang. Video has ENGLISH SUBTITLES!
This is the way a interview should be let your guest talk and don't keep interrupting unlike today's talk show hosts
Agreed
Who would interrupt a Beatle?
Jimmy Fallon for one
Kudos to John Fugelsang, the interviewer for letting the conversation flow. Interesting contrast to an earlier Dick Cavett interview where the host was so uncomfortable with George’s silences.

My God this man was intelligent. He existed on a metaphysical level that seldom few are able to attain.
Natural for him. INFJ-ego/personality. But yes, this is what the world needs more of, esp today.
We can all get there.

George speaks some very powerful truth here. It's just a shame a lot of people aren't aware of the importance of it.
I like what he speaks and the way he speaks
Sure! But to be honest, I would never be able to go through all the hard-learning and ascetic life you have to go through if you really want to experiment that stuff.. consciousness.. even though you can feel like sometimes, being always in that state of mind isn't possible for the common.I wonder how he managed to do it so young.. !! but in fact he said it: you have to be obsessed by death..
What he is talking about is happening to many people now, and those who are not experiencing this are very confused to what is going on.
@@nzmpa1 I was thinking the same thing..
we all find or are reminded of this truth when the student is ready
I love seeing Ravi during this interview... he's just sitting there silently, looking at George, his master student, with so much pride and love... What a special friendship they had.
False religion
@@nikkijones8046 lol what he said went over your head.
@@CombatMedic1O Ahh, the Nikkis of the world, slow to get it lol
@lucy bondyeah you're right, it was way cool! 😁
nimrodian George learned to play the sitar while in India. Please don’t speak on matters you clearly aren’t educated in.
I didn't know how great this dude was. What a brilliant man.
Nor me till today 💜
Me as well
George Harrison was the real John Lennon if you know what I mean.
I don't know what you mean, but I know she was just seventeen
I have no clue as to what you mean. George was George and John was the Walrus. (or was the walrus Paul?)
4reptor I see what you did there :) very good!!
I'm not sure I get what you mean but I'll guess you're suggesting George is closer to the 'messiah' and 'ultimate peace maker' image that people thrust upon John Lennon (to which they then got angry at him for once discovering he was actually a human being and flawed like the rest of us).
John was the real Ringo. George was the Walrus. The Walrus is suing George. Paul was dead but isn't now
George definitely was the smartest beatle.
And he was enlightened
It’s all about Jesus.
John was clever, George was wise
He surely was ahead of his time.
You can’t base that off TV interviews come on dude
I was born the year after George's death, so we never have been on this Earth at the same time, but I feel so connected to him. It only takes one interview to see how genuine and deep this man was. Life goes on within you and without you.
Good on you Marty. You have felt what George was trying to get people to feel. Grow from what you learned and share what you know. You get what you give. It gives me hope when I see that a younger generation learns the importance of life and how to make the most of it, for yourself and for those you interact with.
nimrodian How would you know?
We are all one - thats the big secret! 😃

@nimrodian Sorry but you got that one wrong , George would not have abhorred any connection within this universe - we are all connected to each other, either directly or indirectly. You are being unkind to Marty McFly by dismissing him in such a way. I mean no disrespect and harbour no animosity towards you personally - but your comment lacks legitimacy - you cannot presume to know what George abhorred
This is why my kid is named Harrison.
I named my son Liberace.
I named mine harambe
Just call him George. Harrison is a shit first name 😂
Folk may think your a star wars superfan 😉
I named my goldfish George & my son I call Humperdink
matthew patrick this is why my cat is George
George Harrison was by far the most complex Beatle, I hope he's now in the ultimate happy place he was obviously looking for his whole life....
I love this interview. George is totally engaged. His view of the world here and beyond is totally refreshing.
Think i understood why all other pop-rock stars have fans, and George Harrison has devotees...
Hi, inner light. Well said.
@nimrodian Devotees are different from hangers, fans, and groupies. Devotees seek the supreme lord and band with those who are doing the same, that's all he meant. George had so called devotees surely but he himself was a devotee to Krisna, jesus, etc. He was searching for super conciousness. Hangers and fan seek the thrill of sensual pleasures, there truly is a difference
Yes, inner light. Hari Bol
I am Georges slave
@@the44thchamber Well, it wasn't like George didn't seek out sensual pleasures, in addition to his conscious raising pursuits. He enjoyed many women and drugs, just like the others. But, he seems to 'get a pass', because he evokes 'God' in some of his tunes. Hare Krishna, George and pass the pipe.
Great interview.I could listen to him for hours.George is a star in my spiritual sky.............
More and more people are tuning into your wavelength, George. Consciousness is key, and meditation is the way to explore it, from within, thus enabling us to "raise the quality of our consciousness." In this way, as George says, we can learn to experience bliss - and then share it with others. At the heart, this is what life is all about - raising the quality of our consciousness. Cheers.
If you think about it consciousness is doing us - good, bad, or indifferent.
Open-minded Skeptic You can't share your state of bliss. You have to get there yourself. Those who got there, try to show or explain how they do it. But who can explain the mechanisms of the metaphysical reality? It will happen to you as you seek.
Open-minded Skeptic and what does that really mean?
Knock on the door. Perfect knowledge. Perfect conciousness
Thank you, that means a lot
It's a damn shame!!! George & I were in the same hospital in NYC being treated for Cancer in 2001. I made it - why?!?!? George was absolutely amazing!!!!!!
you cannot make a comment like this without giving out the details! You were there to witness a legend's final moments on this earth!!!!!!! have you told anyone else??
Our being here is temporary. Eternity awaits us. He was perfect enough to leave.
I love George's moral seriousness and his human sweetness: they flow together.
Lmao yeah very morally serious. Ask Ringo’s wife.
John Fugelsang is a super bright fella.
He did a great job here by pretty much letting George talk without interruptions.
glad that he got GH on his best interview.
AJ he’s awesome. One of my favorite people.
@AJ loony, your out of your mind.
Yes!!
Yeah in this clip he was clearly doing his job very good
Respect to him
"He smoked." "He cheated." So in other words he was human. To be enlightened DOES NOT mean to be perfect.
You are absolutely correct in stating that - and George was enlightened to that truth as well - good comment !
I think a man who doesn't cheat on his wife is more enlightened.
EXACTLY!! We all have foibles and that's ok! Just be kind and press on!
Paul McCartney said that in India the Maharishi raped a 16-year-old Indian girl who was on drugs. He was so horrifyingly disgusted that he left him as a spiritual teacher.
Therese Ember where the prof so I can verify or substantiate your assertion
Once you realise you are nothing
And know nothing
You’re making progress
Pip Pipster I love this
Agree
Aristotle and Socrates said this.
You're not nothing. You're a small part of that which is everything. We are all pieces and parcels of the supreme, who can call such a high valued constituent as this 'nothing' ?
Once you know yourself, you know nothing and everything. The sky is the ground, and up is round and yet triangular with a whiff of a fart.
The whole of society needs to think like George Harrison.
it's a shame George didn't like interviews cos what he says is very enlightning
It was probably because the majority of interviewers and those who critique the interviews didn't have the ears to hear the message, you know?
Why throw your jewels in the mud when you can wear them on your head instead
I think it depends on the kind of interview, what they are discussing .. here he is very engaged in the talk, I guess other kinds of interviews were just a turn off for him...
His words resound today as more important than they were back in 1997. As George says: we are here to find happiness and bliss in ourselves, and only then can we share it with others. It is the reason why we were put here: to love. RIP.
James Last it's sounds really lovely but what do you mean we were put her to love? How'd you get to that conclusion? As far as I can see we weren't put here with any pre planned purpose
@@exert2020 how do you know.are you above all others and know more than we
@@ruthgoddard6539 I'm guessing just like the person I replied to was. Look at their comment. Full of apparent certainties. We use what information is available to us to make informed opinions. They are asserting specific ideas but seemingly based on nothing more than wishful thinking. I have as much info as the next person and based on our scientific understanding of how we came to be, what we're made of and our similarities with many other animals, I can infer that we weren't designed by someone and put here to 'love'. It's also demonstrable by looking at the examples of humans killing humans in their billions throughout history. I have to reach less to say it's not likely true compared to those reaching to say they definitely know.
@@exert2020 I still say unless and untill we have been dead and came back or experiences in the dieing process we cant know for sure. My son had vivits from those passed before he died. He talked to us about what he heard and saw. If his mind made it up then it is better then going out with the idea of blackness and nothing. If you are happy bel i eving in nothing then go for it.
@@exert2020 just so you know i have known atheist who knew thwe bible well and used certain verses to prive there iwn case. And by the way i do know the bible sats beware if fause profets but that just means becon guard not to dismuss all of the spirit world.
George Harrison got me into meditation

Same, I done a transcendental meditation course after watching Living in a Material World and it was one of the best changes I made in my life
What a beautiful soul you are George 💖💝🌈
I remember when VH1 played this and his music videos the day he died. I called off work and watched and cried all day. I miss George.
FOR ME GEORGE HARRISON WAS REAL.... HE HAD THE BEST SONGS... AS SONG WRITER... HE WAS GREAT AS A BEATLE... HE WAS REAL AND VERY HONEST.. R.I.P. GEORGE GOD BLESS 🌻🌻🌻
There are many things that strike me about George Harrison. One is that, he was extremely thoughtful. He has always come across as a person who wants to help people as much as he can by talking about his own experiences. He's not trying to sell you anything, he's telling you his experience and what you do with it, is what you do with it. The second thing that strikes me is that he's had a very fortunate existence from the time he was born. He came from a loving family, became part of an amazing musical experience, and created a loving family of his own. However, the Beatles, as successful as they were didn't fulfill his spiritual self, nor did his family. He found his spiritualism with the help of his friend. After reading George's book, I realized that he was really searching for answers to life. Why was he here? Where was he going? I think we all have these questions. George gave us some very intellectual insights on this subject in this interview. I'm thankful for this, as it's helped me look at life differently. Thank you George. Namaste
Sounds interesting, what's the name of the book?
George Harrison: Living in the Material World
i love this man! such a beautiful person
Ron I saw geore's face on a 45 when I was 10 years old and just knew he was kind and gentle. What a man. My Sweet Lord is on my funeral song list.
George Harrison ahead of his time🙏 RIP🌏❤️
Divine Brother. Thank you for being on the planet with us for a while. He was a wise man. Awakened Being of Love.
A true Empath ! He was his own guru ! such a lovely man and heart ❤️

Every time I start to miss him i realize that all i have to do is knock on the internet's door to find him.
Knock on the door of your own heart ..
Georges words my sentiments exactly especially his view "it's all about balance" and "relativity -it's getting worst and it's also getting better". Love Love Love this. Thank you!!!
OMG he was so on the money in this interview, he clearly was well on the path to enlightenment, so humble, down to earth, and clearly had a lot of wisdom. A great human being!
He was enlightened.
If we can rise above the barrage of bullshit we can find our inner consciousness and truly be happy. Words to live by. Thank you, George.
Goooood man, George. Way ahead of the masses in his awareness. MOST are immersed in mass media... thousands of tv stations, internet, always on their cellphones either txting or talking or watching something... People have forgotten how to "go within" how to just BE... and be in tune with nature.... Hell, most people don't even THINK about nature. George was really wise and his songs display that. Great hearing him talk about the "more" of what life is really about. Truth is TRUTH... and he said it right.
Well, he was fan of races and didnt care about their impact on nature or environment...
@Fernando Wah Wah!
Rick X I love BH but most of us don’t have that luxury of time or wealth that would allow us to explore such things....I wish I could and I hope to one day
Talking about two different worlds.. he died in 2001, it was just the beginning of this craziness that definitely surrounds us today.. as you say, cellphones and web permanent connection (soon implanted under some fool's skin!!) what would he say today??
@@sebasdebordeaux8347 so true. We as a human race are further from consciousness than we've ever been.
The contrast between this interview and any interviews during or shortly post Beatles is astonishing. George had truly evolved as a man and as a spirit.
George Harrison reached cosmic consciousness. I suspect he was a mystic too
glitchtimefail , I agree, I believe he was a prophet.
Nicole S I don’t feel like one, but thank you
He’s PISCES. And real Pisces people are like his kind. I know because we’re both Pisces and we’re born on the 25th of February.... Thank you, Sir George Harrison! ❤️❤️
@@mariaellanarita6914 fuck off stupid astrology bitch
Ha ha ha! You’re just amazed by it. Seriously, I just realized it when I got older. But of course, there are other factors to consider as well when character or personality is concerned. There’s the upbringing of the parents or any adults looking after a pisces child/children and they will just mix up, if not mess up. 😆... Thanks though for your hugely amusing comment.. Have a great day!
I really don't know how i stumbled upon this but I'm so glad i did,very insightful
Lolly are you aged 25-37?
@@stevechristie2569 you should never ask a lady her age? But answer to your question is yes lol
George Harrison was truly a scholar and a gentleman! He had class. Everybody loved him.
A very wise man.❤️❤️👏
He's one of my favourite artist 🙏🏻🇬🇧🎸🇮🇳
I love George’s mind 👍🏻
This man talks so much sense, its just that not everyone is the same! So as for the “knock on the door and you get the answer” is not always the way you get answers! Some people live beneath so many lies, they have no idea of how to speak the truth! Also sheep follow sheep! Its only when they stray off from the flock will they ever realise theres more to life than being herded, sheared, & locked in the pen of sheep life, & being controlled by the shepherd! But then again, theres always those wolves (even those in sheep’s clothing) who want to rip you apart!
This world needs an absolute full mega do over! But for people to have their own mind! ..well ..that says it all!
George is BRILL!! 🥰
George was on form that night. Integrity and awareness personified. It's so easy to forget the basic truths of living. Love you, George, and the compassion you showed.
George was always looking for the meaning of life.
Its amazing how well he compliments the "other three". Paul, the heart, John, the head , Ringo, the body, George, the soul.
together they were fab
very nice. I never noticed this somehow but it is so true.
Ringo, the body haha
Ringo, the nose
@@teamonkey3 ahahhahahahahahaha
Probably one of the most important interviews for humanity. I watched this in my 20s and knew it was of significance but had no comprehension of what George was trying to say. Thankfully a lot of us are on our journey now.
I’m watching this at 25.
"Knock and the door will be opened." Here we are 2019 and so many are posting that they don't get what George was talking about. Does this surprise me? Look at what is happening and who are the most powerful leaders in the world today. George drove around all of Europe by himself chanting My Sweet Lord over and over. His goal later in life was to obtain spiritual perfection...For example, he spent most of his time meditating, planting trees, and tending his garden. One day George had to leave his home and was driving out the gates to head to a business meeting. As he left the gates and got on the road, he said to himself, " What the hell am I Doing." The moment George died, his wife Olivia and his son both said that the room actually lit up, they were astonished and knew that George was heading toward the light. Nothing more needs to be said.
He was the light
@@jkenmiller i believe "Jesus is way the truth and the light" or "God is light and there is no darkness in him at all"...keep seeking....keep knocking...
You are so right.

My favorite Beatle.
Virginia Bradley same here. He was fascinating.
He is speaking from the depth of his heart. A eye opener for those who thinks only the thing in life is wealth. He is delving deep into questions of life.
I have new level of respect for George Harrison. At time I remember thinking he was going "new agey" on us. But he was really onto something.
The consistent message throughout the Beatles music is love. Love is key to everything for all of us.
My goodness, George was so smart! Aware. Conscious. What a beautiful mind he created for himself, with growth and hard work. Love George always.
Beautiful interview . Such a amazing message . 👀
Isn't it a pity...miss you George...
Don't feel bad death is not the end and he is in bliss now.
George was the man that started my spiritual journey. First with Tomorrow Never Knows and then Within You and Without You, which was playing in my mind when I travelled through India and Nepal. George and his message were with me every day. Thank you George. We were talking.....
Tears in my eyes...this is so true.
"We get in Government or any situation in life, we get the reflection of our consciousness. We can't really complain about what we have, because that is us. It's a reflection of our own being."
i used to think george was corny
then i got on a path like him
sober and intune and i said omg he was right ty
I remeber that day,I saw this interview with my girlfriend when it was originally aired.but that day when we heard he passed away,very sad,we cried a long time.I love George's take on life and what comes next.Very intelligent man,we miss you.Thanks for sharing this interview
and it proves that all the money in the world cannot save you from cancer.
Holycowbatman! Finally! My UA-cam internet algorithm burped up a masterpiece. Many thanks to Peacefulness for sharing this with us.
Right on George. Boy was he right about government and how it is a reflection of ourselves.
Probably the best "Beatle" interview. Harrison was truly a transcendent person.
George has never been more present now. His loving attitude is still with us in his songs and more importantly in his wise words. God bless him.
He is dearly missed. What a great person, as welll as a great artist.
I love how Ravi Shankar is just sitting there like “yee spit the truth George”
By George, I think he's got it.
Beautiful George..he obviously found what he was looking for XX
His every word is so soothing to our minds. Compare him with our own celebrities who are so full of deceit and lies.
What a brilliant man! May he continue to live in eternal bliss!
We are all one pure love and one pure Consciousness 💚
I feel like there has been a shift and awareness is growing❤️
I love George and am watching this because I have just watched his and John's interview on the Frost Programme about meditation and I would like to experience it. However the only thing I would say that George didn't mention is that ordinary everyday people are running around and not thinking along the same lines and about these concepts and realisations because they have to work to make ends meet to survive. Then again we could all have worked hard to become successful famous musicians, but didn't, whereas George did and he used his fame to spread the message to us all.
This interview is life changing!! He was spot on... I realize now I'm not alone of what I believe in. Thank you for posting this video. 🙏
He is so amazing, before his time, this interview was so powerful! He was an unbelievablely aware person....
After listening to Eckhart Tolle for the last year or so, George makes perfect sense to me. An enlightened being I think. I sure we will all become awakened eventually.
I've seen this clip many times, and learn more each time. Harrison was (is) a wonderful spirit
The interviewer is spot on, prepared and a very good listener.
Thank you Saint George. Amazing indeed.. What are we doing on this planet?...is the key question...in the constant play of duality when the Eternal Oneness is within us to explore. If Consciousness was the foundation of education we would have a much better world and more effective leaders.
I believe he said he feel s like a alien in this world.todays situation in our world i agree with him.
George was deep with a disciple spirituality along with his wit, humor and music. He truly got it. We surely need more of that Dear George these days for we surely have lost our way in comparison. Definitey need balance.
I have always had a deep respect for Sir George. I have always loved HarriSONG. I believe his lyrics and instrumentation are forever.
Me too!
All things must pass.
Very much worthwhile, though.
He was so wise. I wish more people would truly hear what he’s saying here. It is incredibly relevant. I’ve read that his last words were “love one another.” Isn’t that just the best advice that every one of us should follow? Love George! My favorite song is My Sweet Lord.
On a slightly different & yet somehow spiritually connected theme.. Has everyone notice but me - until today [!!] -
The initials of the Harrison family:
[G]eorge+[O]livia+[D]hani 💕
Whether or not anyone believes in a "one God" or many "Gods" - there, in the Harrison family, they are "G.O.D" & as such are indeed the spirits within as well as without us all. How wonderful.. Thank goodness & Creation for George & Dhani & for Olivia who cemented the whole into one.
☺💕🎸🎶⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐☺🎸💕
Never thought about it ..Woh!
Could just as easily be DOG
When George talks about bliss, I think I did experience that when I was a kid, laying getting a sun tan. My only focus was feeling the heat of the sun on my skin, and my mind was totally relaxed, not full of any thoughts. Total relaxation, eyes closed, no outside distractions.
You can get there again. Any time any place.
What a deep, sensitive, intelligent man. Love you, George.
I’m in my 60s and just now seeing the depth of what GH is saying. I’ve been listening closely to the Beatles songs- the words. The Beatles helped usher in a new consciousness that is still unfolding!
yes
At first i was like "The guy from the funny videos show?" but then he did a fantastic job and let george talk uninterrupted
Never knew how greater man he was you learn something new everyday god bless you george
Fantastic to hear George speak his truth 🚥❤
What a powerful speech.
Thanks
God Bless George, "The Quiet Beatle". Rest In Peace, Gentle 👼. God
Bless.
George in my opinion was the deepest of the Beatles. He knocked and it was opened. See him up there in the world without end.
He was a blessed soul. There is much depth in his words.
Thankyou for your beautiful music
George Is The Man of Peace...GEO is My Favorite Beatle...Always has been. He Dug Deeper...Wanted The Truth...
Great interview. He seemed like an very intelligent and humble man.
He knows.
