Section02 READING
Directions: Q. (33-37): Read the following passage carefully
and answer the questions given below it. Certain words are
given in bold face to help you locate them. While answering
some of the questions. Mean materialistic man cannot
emulate them on any account.
When we achieve success, we try to encash it. We call ourselves
elite philosophers. When we fail, we chew our own words,
which were probably uttered by us in the delirium of the rain
that would never arrive. We justify our actions by stating “Oh!
Failure is but one facet of life.” Or, we state, “I know I would
not succeed but I tried.” Some people blame Providence and
take shelter behind the renowned philosophy of karma. Hence
14
the trick works–success or failure, we always win. Success, or
rather, a hankering for the same, is our ultimate philosophy. But
the most successful philosophers were the ones who were forced
to bite the dust. Gandhi was shot dead. Socrates had to drink
poison. Marx, a staunch opponent of capitalism, was relegated to
a back-seat with the advent of capitalism in the modern world.
There are many more examples in this context. It we cite all of
them here, you would probably end up reading a weird volume
on those philosophers that never tasted the fruits of success in
their lifetime.
Today, a person be com e s a philosopher for the sake of his
convenience. It you ask somebody why he threw garbage on the
road, he would reply, “Sir, I didn’t want to throw it there but I
had no alternative.” The system is so corrupt! You see, the
sweeper never collects the garbage from my home in the
morning but expects some money from me every time I come
across him. The man translates his folly into a classic case of
philosophical chaos. In the vortex of this chaos, he stands tall,
unruffled by his sins and basking under his own encomium.
In this materialistic would, only a few philosophers may have
been left. We believe that there are none but you may think
otherwise. If a man picks up a banana peel from the road and
puts it into a State-approved dust bin, he is deemed a
philosopher, nee an eccentric individual. People say he is crazy
to the core, for he has no sense of humour. After all, if a banana
peel is lying on the road, why should it not be left there? If
someone is injured by

15
it, he would certainly not put his foot over the next peel he
comes across. A philosopher removes the peel but an individual
keeps it there to learn a lesson from the lurking danger due to it.
Let us take an oath—we shall not remove any banana peel lying
on the road, for it would teach us not to put our foot over it. So
what if he fall once due to it? We shall not fall again–that is a
mandatory promise!
