Section C:Test of Language English

Directions—(Q. 41-55)
Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it.

Energy is neither created nor destroyed; it is only recycled and recast in different
forms. Even the human body is a form of energy. Call it prana or jivatma or
simply vayu energy sustains the gross body and expresses itself through sensory
perceptions and the basic physical elements.

The three fundamental gunas— satvik, rajasik and tamasik—which characterise

the nature of the human being, very often in a combination, are further sub-
divided into many basic qualities commonly known as human values. Love,
affection, integrity and truth, for instance, are values that are as important to life
as breathing or eating. These values are positive but in the course of practice
and because they emanate from a mind that is susceptible to negative thoughts,
they get corrupted. They generate negativity and manifest in the form of lying,
cheating or causing others harm. The very fact that human civilization has
survived over centuries shows that despite all the negativity, the force of positive
energy within all of us continues to expand and enrich.

According to the theory of karma, every action generates a corresponding

reaction, good or bad as the case may be. The process might take place in this
life or the next, but take place, it will. The theory prompted sages to exhort
humanity to be good and do good. This way, the result of a good deed will
invariably be good which will add to the collective good of the human species.
This is what Sri Aurobindo called the Goodness Quotient. Swami Vivekananda
firmly believed that human nature is basically good. It is only to be perceived as
such and having been aware, to follow it through, for the good of one self so that
it multiplies for social good. Goodness will help improve the quality of life of not
just the individual but an entire society. There is no such thing as ‘negative’
energy, all energy being positive and constantly recycled. Negativity is therefore
a dysfunction of thought or outlook. This has to be resisted from within by rein
forcing the positive qualities inherent in human nature.
The instant gratification of the senses might be the driving force in a society
driven by consumerism but realising that all the material success and prosperity
you have acquired over a lifetime means nothing once your body lies inert, life
takes on a new meaning.

41. What did Swami Vivekananda believe?

1. Perceiving goodness in human nature is important

Ans:D

43. The fact that human civilization has survived indicates that
(A) positive energy within us increases despite negativity
(B) too much positive energy is not harmful
