प्रश्न 106
Among the relics of the Indus civilisation are figures that are prototypes of Siva, suggesting that the person who explores and integrates his inward nature is ideal. This image has haunted this country’s spiritual landscape from early times to today. The Upanishads require us to acquire Brahma-Vidya or atma-Vidya. The Katha Upanishad says that man is turned outward by his senses and so loses contact with himself; his soul becomes immersed in external things, power and possessions. It must turn round, avrtta-caksuh, to find its right direction and discover the meaning of reality it has lost. The Jina conquers his self. He is Mahavira, who battles and triumphs over his inward nature. The Buddha asks us to seek enlightenment, bodhi. These Vedic ideals ask us to change our unregenerate nature, replacing avidya (ignorance) with Vidya (wisdom). Which is the most appropriate meaning of the term Siva?

प्रश्न 111
The fundamental concept of Indian religious life may first be briefly indicated. The goal of life is communion with the Supreme: a life of realisation, agnosis, an inner intuitive vision of God, in which man achieves absolute freedom and escapes servitude to ordinary experience. It is subtle interwoven-ness with spiritual realities, not knowledge or recognition of universal ideas by dialectic or analysis of empirical data. It is analogous to Plato’s vision of an irresistible harmony with the deepest reality of the world, inspired and sustained by the spiritual within us. Intellectual recognition and spiritual realisation are different. We can free ourselves from the body’s shackles and, in a split second, see the truth and be overcome by it. We see God so intensely that the soul is more certain and possessed by the sight of God than the bodily eye by daylight. Which one of the following is nearest in meaning to ‘Communion’?

प्रश्न 116
The Divine is both in us and outside us. God is neither completely transcendent nor completely immanent. To express this double aspect, contradictory accounts are given: he is divine darkness as well as ‘unencompassed light’. Philosophers with a passion for unity emphasise the immanent aspect, that no barrier divides man from the real. The unity of man and God is the fundamental thesis of the great philosophical tradition that has come down to us from the Upanishads and Plato; Aristotle, Plotinus, Samkara, Spinoza, Bradley and others bear witness to it. Which one of the following best expresses the idea of ‘transcendent’?

The famous dialogue between the Indian philosopher and Socrates suggests that, for the whole Western tradition, man is essentially a rational being, able to think logically and act in a utilitarian manner. The Western mind lays great stress on science, logic and humanism. Hindu thinkers believe that we possess a power more interior than intellect by which we become aware of reality in its intimate individuality, not merely its superficial or discernible aspects. For Hindus, philosophy is insight, a darsana: a vision of truth, not logical argument and proof. They believe the mind can be freed by gradual training from speculative intellect and post-impressions, and unite with the object whose nature is then fully manifested. They contend that truth’s power can control destiny. Knowledge means power; lack of knowledge is the root of trouble. Vidya is Moksha; avidya is samsara.
