    Directions For Questions

    Read the following passage and answer the questions given after it.
    While a teacher makes us learn, a guru helps us to transform. It is just like igniting candles from one lamp. Our process of knowledge is routed through ego or I am-ness, while divine wisdom is assimilated only with the annihilation of ego or the fragmented sense of self. Hence, absolute surrender of the ego to God or guru is a precondition for spiritual transformation.
    In the Mahabharata, before the great battle, Arjuna went to the mountains for secret weapons to win the battle. On the way, he saw a deer and shot it dead for food. Simultaneously, a stranger also shot it and came to claim the deer. Proud Arjuna became arrogant and did not allow the stranger to touch it without a fight. But very soon, to his surprise, the unknown person set aside all his arrows. Disarmed and ashamed, the greatest archer started praying to God with all humility for help. Suddenly, he found that his adversary was Lord Shiva himself in disguise who came to advise him not to take the great venture without divine intervention. The power of the creator must be sought for winning the unknown.
    In the spiritual field, we generally behave like Arjuna and want to win by ourselves with our limited intellect and ego. But the rich storehouse of hidden potential within us is opened unto us when we are humble, devoid of ego and possessed by a sense of total surrender, which facilitate downpour of divine grace. When the disciple is ready, the guru is bound to come to him. Aspiration of the disciple and his inward receptivity attract the right guru to him.
