‗Beliefs‘ soften the hardships, even can make them pleasant. In God, man can find very strong consolation and support. Without Him, man has to depend upon himself. At testing moments, vanity, if any, evaporates and man cannot dare to defy the general beliefs; if he does, then we must conclude that he has got certain other strengths than mere vanity. This is exactly the situation now. Judgment is already too well known. Within a week it is to be pronounced. What is the consolation with the exception of the idea that I am going to sacrifice my life for a cause? A God-believing Hindu might be expecting to be reborn as a king, a Muslim or a Christian might dream of the luxuries to be enjoyed in paradise and the reward he is to get for his sufferings and sacrifices. But what am I to expect? I know the moment the rope is fitted round my neck and rafters removed, from under my feet: that will be the final moment, that will be the last moment. I, or to be more precise, my soul, as interpreted in the metaphysical terminology, shall all be finished there. Nothing further.
A short life of struggle with no such magnificent end shall in itself be the reward if I have the courage to take it in that light. That is all. With no selfish motive or desire to be awarded here or hereafter, quite disinterestedly have I devoted my life to the cause of independence, because I could not do otherwise. The day we find a great number of men and women with this psychology who cannot devote themselves to anything else than the service of mankind and emancipation of the suffering humanity - that day shall inaugurate the era of liberty.
Not to become a king, nor to gain any other rewards here, or in the next birth or after death in paradise, shall they be inspired to challenge the oppressors, exploiters, and tyrants, but to cast off the yoke of serfdom from the neck of humanity and to establish liberty and peace shall they tread this - to their individual selves perilous and to their noble selves the only glorious imaginable path. Is the pride in their noble cause to be misinterpreted as vanity? Who dares to utter such an abominable epithet? To him, I say either he is a fool or a knave. Let us forgive him for he cannot realize the depth, the emotion, the sentiment and the noble feelings that surge in that heart. His heart is dead as a mere lump of flesh, his eyes are weak, the evils of other interests having been cast over them. Self-reliance is always liable to be interpreted as vanity. It is sad and miserable but there is no help.
You go and oppose the prevailing faith, you go and criticize a hero, a great man, who is generally believed to be above criticism because he is thought to be infallible, the strength of your argument shall force the multitude to decry you as vainglorious. This is due to the mental stagnation: criticism and independent thinking are the two indispensable qualities of a revolutionary. Because Mahatmaji is great, therefore none should criticize him. Because he has risen above, therefore everything he says " may be in the field of politics or religion, economics or ethics " is right. Whether you are convinced or not you must say, "Yes. That‘s true". This mentality does not lead towards progress. It is rather too obviously, reactionary.[1] Which one of the following statements can be deduced from the above passage?
(A) Individuals who neither believe in God nor in the infallibility of great men are arrogant.
(B) Belief is convenient as it even makes a hard reality at present more bearable because of a promise of a better future.
(C) Only some individuals are able to attain greatness and by following them uncritically the society can make significant progress.
(D) If you do not believe in God, then you can never hope to achieve anything great in life.[2] Which of the following statements BEST captures the essence of the passage?
(A) When we criticize a great man like Mahatmaji, we are motivated by arrogance and a desire to question anything good through meaningless arguments.
(B) All human beings ought to desist from believing anything in order to be able to achieve something meaningful.
(C) The author is trying to present his defense for not believing in the existence of God, even though it is probably more convenient to do so, than going against the generally accepted norms of the society.
(D) It is wrong to believe in God for achieving kingship or for rewards in this world, or for paradise after death, and instead, one should believe in God without expecting anything in return.[3] The word 'vainglorious' as used in the passage is EXACTLY OPPOSITE in meaning to: (A) truthful
(B) proud
(C) dishonest
(D) humble[4] Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE as per the passage?
(A) Pride in a noble cause should not be interpreted as vanity
(B) Service to mankind is the ultimate path to freedom.
(C) Criticizing heroes and great men can lead to progress.
(D) The author is upset because he has nothing to expect in the after life.asked in JMET
