    Directions For Questions

    Direction: In this section, you have few short passages. After each passage, you will find some items based on the passage. First, read a passage and answer the items based on it. You are required to select your answers based on the contents of the passage and opinion of the author only.

    As per natural phenomenon, man has to link his soul with God, and his body with the physical world. The mind wanders wherever the eye goes. God being invisible to the naked eye, man readily links his mind with the mundane world in the name of worshipping God. With this short-circuiting, religion, like the white light of heavens, breaks into many coloured fragments and loses its gravity. Instead of uniting, it becomes a major dividing force.

    Apostles, scholars, scientists, sociologists and philosophers, all agree that God is one and that man’s first duty is to realise Him. If man loses faith in God, he loses faith in himself. It spells crisis of character, resulting in shocking crash of human values followed by chaos and widespread violence. Only a Messiah, true master, can redeem the weary world!

    When a child is born, he ipso facto gets a right in the parental property. Spiritually, he gets a right to God realisation, an opportunity to attain salvation during his lifetime. Ironically, our lifespan is totally uncertain. Saint Kabir says Kabir nagara kooch ka baajat hai din raat - ‘that day and night, every breath sounds like a bugle, cautioning man of approaching death.’ But caught in the cobweb of this mundane world, man chases willo’- the-wisps at the heavy cost of ignoring God-realisation.

    It is often argued that just as all roads lead to Rome, all modes of worship lead to God. This comparison is very odd. Rome is a fixed place for which different roads can be followed to reach it. But God is not confined to any one fixed place. He is omnipresent and the whole world is stationed in Him. In Him we live, we move and exist. He is there even in a needle hole. It is the prerogative and jurisdiction of the living true master to reveal Nirankar, formless God to the seeker. True Master is also called sadhguru, brahmnjnani and prophet. All great religions in their pristine pronouncements place emphasis on the spiritual rather than ritual aspects of living.

  • Question 6/10

    Directions For Questions

    Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow.

    It’s impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all, in which case you have failed by default.” – J.K. Rowling

    To put in simpler words, failure is inevitable. Therefore, one must not be afraid of them. Before Thomas Alva Edison invented the electric light bulb, he tried innumerable times. But, each of his attempts ‘burst’ into pieces. He did not give up, he kept on trying until he succeeded. On being asked how he felt about his failed attempts, Edison replied, “I have not failed. I just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” The lesson to be learnt here is that success and failure go hand in hand. Until and unless we fail, we don’t become aware of our shortcomings.

    Many people do not realize that failure is really a stepping-stone to success. Instead of having a positive outlook on failure and learning lessons from it, they only view the negative aspect of failure. Those who consider failure an opportunity to do better, never let it overwhelm themselves. Such people succeed in life (sooner or later) because they have faith in themselves. Such people may or may not be optimists, but when they resolve to overcome their weaknesses or shortcomings, their focus automatically shifts to the lessons they can learn from it.
