\n3. Do you spend more time watching TV, surfing the net, and reading the news than you do hearing and\/or reading sastra?
\n4. Do you allow yourself to become distracted when you chant japa or do you make an effort to be focused, present and prayerful?
\n5. Do you shy away from making needed changes in yourself, sadhana and service or do you love to challenge yourself?<\/p>\n
