Q 2. ASSIGNMENT:
Reading for Comprehension

Q. Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow.

Love is a basic emotion, yet you cannot plan to fall in love or create conditions for being in
love. It is something over which you have no control. Either you fall in love or you do not. It
is ordained. Ramakrishna explains this with the following analogy: “When a huge tidal wave
comes, all the little brooks and ditches become full to the brim without any effort or
consciousness on their own part.”

However, there are some criteria for judging whether one is in love or not. The first test is
that you do not want exclusive possession of the object of your love. You wish the world to
know of your love. You could declare your love from the rooftop. And you wish to do or say
whatever makes the person you love happy. M K Gandhi said: “Love and exclusive
possession can never go together. Theoretically where there is perfect love, there must be
perfect non-possession”.

The second test of love is that there can be no bargain. It does not recognise reward or
punishment. Love itself is a merit, and itself its own reward. Beyond itself love seeks neither
cause nor outcome; the outcome of it is one with the practice of it. You love something or
someone for its own sake and not because you want or desire a favour in return: Love is not a
means to some ephemeral or non-ephemeral end but is an end in itself. Love is not a response
to a certain positive situation. You can go on loving for when you give your love it comes
back millions of times more.

The notion of giving is so consequential to love that” if you do not give it, it goes, it becomes
dead, it becomes a dead weight on you. It becomes hatred - it turns into its very opposite. It
becomes fear, it becomes jealousy, it becomes possessiveness”, said Osho.

The third test of real love is the annihilation of the ego. It obliterates the distinction between
the self and the other by an unconditional surrender to the other; rather it is a total merger, a
complete synthesis with the beloved. In true love the lover and the beloved are one. The sense
of your own identity and individuality vanishes. The other, therefore, does not place a limit
on the lover’s freedom: rather, communion with the beloved leads to unbound freedom. It
frees us from limits imposed on us by our ahamkara - ego.

The fourth test of real love is that it knows no fear. Fear could be of unfulfilled desires. If
your love springs from fear of punishment, or from your desires being fulfilled, then it is no
love at all. Love and fear are incompatible, because in love there is no place for desire.

The fifth test of love is that you love what you consider to be the best Therefore, the beloved
person, object, or ideal is unique. It is the highest from the perspective of the lover; from
others’ perspective it may not be so. For others some other ideal could be higher than this
one. But for the lover the beloved is the best.

The sixth test of real love is that the lover does not so much believe in pedantic and powerless
reason which merely argues but is not able to establish a direct contact with the beloved. The
lover gives up the fruitless intellectual groping in the dark and trusts his own direct
experience. He does not give reasons and arguments, nor depend upon inference but depends
on direct perception and lived life experience.

Q. Read the following passage carefully.

Parents play an important role in the personal and scholastic achievements of their children.
Home is the best place for education and the first school of the child.

One of the major changes in India has been the growing number of working mothers. Both
parents cannot devote much time to their children. As a result, they find themselves incapable
of inculcating moral values in their children.

Most parents take active interest in the studies of their children only during examination days
or when the child does not achieve the desired academic performance Similarly they do not
have sufficient time to motivate their children to take up co-curricular activities.

Most parents restrict their responsibilities to spending money on their children. They should
understand their child needs much more from them, besides paying for tuition fees, providing
books and pocket money.

The first and foremost solution is devoting time to children. Parents should try to provide a
congenial and harmonious environment to their children. If parents display disturbed
behavior, there is likelihood that it will badly affect the mental and physical health of the
children.

Moreover, parents should update their knowledge about the changing educational techniques
like use of computers and other audio-visual aids. They should ask for progress report of
children regularly.

They can further help their children by keeping a watch on their attendance, the company
they keep and the items they spend their pocket money on.

They should attend parents-teachers associations and counseling centers to understand their
ward’s psychological and sociological and educational problems. Such exercises will help
their offspring to be physically healthy and mentally well-balanced. It also develops a strong
family bond and gives them ability to face the world. This, in turn, will shape them as good
citizens, resulting in decline of crimes.

(a)On basis of your reading of the above passage, make notes on it using headings and sub-
headings. Also use recognizable abbreviations whenever necessary (minimum 4). Supply a
suitable title to it. (4)

(b)Write a summary of the above passage in about 80 words. (4)
