Read the passage given below and answer the question that follow by choosing the most appropriate option from the choices given below.

Watching is meditation. What you watch is irrelevant. You can watch the trees, you can watch the river, you can watch the clouds, you can watch children playing around. Watching is meditation. What you watch is not the point; the object is not the point. The quality of observation, the quality of being aware and alert-that's what meditation is. Remember one thing; meditation means awareness. Whatsoever you do with awareness is meditation. Action is not of importance, but the quality that you bring to your action. Walking can be a meditation if you walk alert. Sitting can be a meditation if you sit alert. Listening to the birds can be a meditation if you listen with awareness. Just listening to the inner voice of your mind can be meditation if you remain alert and watchful. The whole point is, one should not move in sleep. Then whatsoever you do is meditation.

The first step in awareness is to be very watchful of your body. Slowly, one becomes alert about each gesture, each movement. And as you become aware, a miracle starts happening; many things that you used to do before simply disappear; your body becomes more relaxed, your body becomes more attuned. A deep peace starts prevailing even in your body. a subtle music pulsates in your body. The same has to be done with thoughts. They are more subtle than the body and of course, more dangerous too. And when you become aware of your thoughts, you will be surprised what goes on inside you. If you write down whatsoever is going on at any moment, you are in for a great surprise. You will not believe that this is what is going on inside you. And after ten minutes read it, you will see a mad mind inside! Because we are not aware, this whole madness goes on running like an undercurrent. It affects whatsoever you are doing, it affects everything. And the sum total of it is going to be your life! So this madness has to be changed. And the miracle of awareness is that you need not do anything except just become aware. The very phenomenon of watching it changes it. Slowly the madman disappears, slowly the thoughts start falling into a certain pattern; their chaos is no more, they become more of a cosmos. And then again, a deeper peace prevails. And when your body and your mind are at peace you will see that they are attuned to each other too. Now they are not running in different directions, they are not riding different horses. For the first time, there is accord, and that accord helps immensely to work on the third step-that is becoming aware of your feelings, emotions, moods. That is the subtlest layer and the most difficult, but if you can be aware of the thoughts, then it is just one step more. A little more intense awareness is needed and you start reflecting your moods, your emotions, your feelings.
