<p>I&#8217;m not going to change the way I look or the way I feel to conform to anything. <br />
  I&#8217;ve always been a freak. <br />
  So I&#8217;ve been a freak all my life and I have to live with that, you know. <br />
I&#8217;m one of those people.</p>

<div><span style="color: #d16349; font-family: Arial;"><strong>You meditate in the  morning and then you put it aside. Or you pray in the temple and then forget it.</strong></span></div>

</strong></span></div>
<div><span style="color: #d16349; font-family: Arial;"><strong>Then you come back to  the world, completely unmeditative, unconscious, as if walking in a hypnotic  sleep. </strong></span></div>
<div><span style="color: #d16349; font-family: Arial;"><strong>This fragmented effort  won&#8217;t do much.</strong></span></div>

<span style="color: #d16349; font-family: Arial;"><strong><span style="color: #9b00d3;">Consciousness is a  continuum. It is like a river, flowing constantly.</span></strong></span></span></div>
<div><span><span style="color: #d16349; font-family: Arial;"><strong><span style="color: #9b00d3;"><br />
</span></strong></span></span></div>
<div><span style="color: #d16349;"><span><strong><span style="font-family: Arial;">If  you are meditative the whole day, every moment of it &#8211; and only when you are  meditative the whole day &#8211; the flowering will come to  you.<br />
