Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:
If we wish to master meditation we can follow what saints do. They mediate long hours and work hard to practise meditation. They do not sit1 for a few minutes, get up and eat something, sit for a more minutes, and then watch television for three hours, then sit again, and then get up and engage in more distractions. They keep themselves seated until they achieve their goal. If we follow their dedication and zeal to their meditation we too will attain the spiritual heights that they reached.
We have been gifted with free will to choose whom we want to copy as role models. If we spend our time with those with negative habits, then we will become so much like those people. We will be influenced by their negative ways and it will be harder for us to undo the bad habits we develop. If we are truly sincere about our progress in life let us find positive role models so that those virtues become a part of us. Then, we will find that we will not have to work to control our minds. So, let us find positive role models to emulate and become better persons.
