Read the passage and answer from question Nos. 45 to 50:
“Every day, day after day, we see men and animals dying. But each man thinks he is
going to live on forever. What can be more surprising than this?” So goes a passage in the
Mahabharata. All religions are attempts to help man come to terms with death. Swami
Vivekananda said, ‘so long as death is there religion will be there’.
However, it is common knowledge that very pious people are as much afraid of death
as the no so pious. Gal Bellow, a Nobel Laureate in literature said, “The tragedy of
civilization consists in the refusal of the doomed creature to die.” Jostling for space in the
annals of history is an attempt to grapple with mortality. However, Norman O. Brown in his
scholarly treatise, ‘Life against Death : A Psychoanalytic Interpretation of History’ concludes
that the survival of mankind into the future urgently requires that we cultivate in every
oncoming generation a consciousness that is willing and ready to die.
This is squarely a challenge for educational research. We must develop a curriculum

that will enable every individual follow the ebb and flow of the clan vital in the parabola of
the life cycle, savour the joys of sex in the waxing phase of the parabola and mellow with it
in the waning phase.

Dr. Johnson described sleep as a ‘gentle tyrant’. ‘Sleep’ is a tyrant because nobody
can escape its regimen; ‘gentle’ because there is some flexibility …of course, within limits …
