1. A passage is given with five questions following it. Read the passage carefully and select the best answer to each question out of the given four alternatives. Just as space permeates everything in the universe, love permeates every part, every aspect of creation. If there is one answer to the question, ?How and why does this world exist?? the answer, in one word, is ?Love?. Rather, the answer is ?Pure Love?, since the word ?love? has lost its meaning. Your very existence is an expression of pure unconditional love of the Source (you may call it Consciousness, Creator, God, Divine Self). This is the truth of your being. True love transcends both love and hatred. It is unconditional, unquestioning, boundless, unchanging love. It is overflowing love of the Source for the Source through all of creation. True love is way beyond the personalized love that two or more individuals assert on one another. Personalized love, though apparently selfless, is rooted in desires and conditional satisfaction. We have been brought up in a society that judges love based on conditions. We have been made to believe that we can receive love only when we fit into people?s expectations. If we are not good enough, we will be deprived of love. These beliefs have influenced the collective psyche of families, groups, communities, and societies since generations to such an extent that love has been reduced to fear of denial. We need to shift from the paradigm of false conditional love to the essence of pure unconditional love . The experience of true love comes with surrender of the false ?I?, in letting go of the feeling of separateness. Without this sacrifice, it is not possible to attain divine love. When this separate ?I? is discarded, you embrace everything in oneness and catch a glimpse of pure love. True love can be experienced only through giving, not by demanding. People who exist in your life are not here to love you. They are here to remind you that you are the Source of Love. By knowing that you are the Source of love, you can love yourself, instead of waiting to receive love from the world. Ask yourself, ?Why do I need an agent to love myself?? Waiting for the world to love you, is like hiring an agent to love yourself! It is time for you to honor yourself as the Source of love. You have undertaken this human journey to realize and express the boundless love that you truly are. What can be the suitable title to the passage ?

6. Read the passage carefully and select the best answer to each question out of the given four alternatives. By practicing mindfulness and other principles, we become more aware of and present to our fears and others? fears, bearing witness as a way of healing and empowering. We see the spiritual path as intertwined with the path of social action, with contemplation and action parts of the same whole, each nourishing and guiding the other. Acknowledging that our well-being depends on others makes caring for others? well-being a moral responsibility. Through a ?mindful citizen? exercise, we create a story articulating who we are as individuals who are also part of communities. This exercise helps us move beyond cynicism, complacency, and despair, instead infusing us with a sense of purpose. We embrace our gifts, resolving to do our part to promote a sense of common humanity as a means toward social justice. With this exercise, I believe we can help students bridge their divides and replace anger and distrust with compassionate connections ? just as I witnessed between Shirley and Tiffany. Shirley returned to class after a brief hiatus, keeping a cool distance from Tiffany. But over the weeks spent together they gradually came to know each other. They practiced seeing and listening, sharing stories so different that they felt bewildered as to how they could overcome the gap. But they found that acknowledging their differences led them to discover a place of deep connection in commonalities, such as being raised by grandmothers, and even wounds, including childhood trauma, that they never imagined existed. In assessments of these classes, students say that these small groups become ?healing communities,? where we overcome victimization and claim agency. Healing occurs as we transcend an ?us vs. them? mentality, crossing borders and forging connections. These communities show a way of reducing intergroup prejudice and fostering inclusion based in psychology research and pedagogical practice. What makes the others? well-being a moral responsibility for us?
Options
A. By way of our concerned nature.
B. As our own well-being depends on others well-being.
C. It depends on one?s upbringing.
D. It is mentioned as a fundamental duty in our Indian Constitution.
Correct Answer: As our own well-being depends on others well-being.
