\nAnswer ANY ONE of the following questions in about 100 words [1 \u00d7 4 = 4]<\/p>\n

a) This aspect of truth cannot be ignored; it has to be known and mastered. What is that aspect of truth, according to Tagore? Who has mastered it?
\nAnswer:
\nRabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) was a psychologist and social realist. He wrote a number of essays in both English and Bengali. \u201cThe Religion of the Forest\u201d is one of his most famous essays. It represents the author\u2019s perspective on an individual\u2019s relationship with the forest and nature.<\/p>\n

The truth of our life depends upon our attitude of mind towards it- -an attitude which is formed by our habit of dealing with it according to the special circumstance of our surroundings and our temperaments. It guides our attempts to establish relations with the universe either by conquest or by union, either through the cultivation of power or through that of sympathy. And thus, in our realisation of the truth of existence, we put our emphasis either upon the. principle of dualism or upon the principle of unity.<\/p>\n

\"TS<\/p>\n

b) Explain how the bid simplicity of Hindu life had broken up in Kalidas\u2019s time.
\nAnswer:
\nRabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) was a psychologist and social realist. He wrote a number of essays in both English and Bengali. \u201cThe Religion of the Forest\u201d is one of his most famous essays. It represents the author\u2019s perspective on an individual\u2019s relationship with the forest and nature. When Vikramaditya became king, Ujjayini a great capital, and Kalidasa its poet, the age of India\u2019s forest retreats had passed.<\/p>\n

Then we had taken our stand in the midst of the great concourse of humanity. The Chinese and the Hun, the Scythian and the Persian, the Greek and the Roman, had crowded round us. But, even in that age of pomp and prosperity, the love and reverence with which its poet sang about the hermitage shows what was the dominant ideal that occupied the mind of India; what was the one current of memory that continually flowed through her life.<\/p>\n

In Kalidasa\u2019s drama, Shakuntala, the hermitage, which dominates the play, overshadowing the king\u2019s palace, has the same idea running through it the recognition of the kinship of man with conscious and unconscious creation.<\/p>\n
