They do not sit for a few minutes, get up and eat something, sit for a few 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 to0 will attaint he spiritual heights that they reached. We have free will to choose whom we want to emulate.
