Read the passage and answer from question Nos. 45 to 50 :
“Everyday, day after day, we see men and animals dying. But each man thinks he is going to live on
forever. What can be more surprising than this ?” So goes a passage in the Mahabharata. All religions
are attempts to help man come to terms with death. Swami Vivekananda said, ‘so long as death is
there religion will be there’. However, it is common knowledge that very pious people are as much afraid
of death as the no so pious. Gal Bellow, a Nobel Laureate in literature said, “The tragedy of
civilization consists in the refusal of the doomed creature to die.” Jostling for space in the annals
of history is an attempt to grapple with mortality. However, Norman O. Brown in his
scholarly treatise, ‘Life against Death : A Psychoanalytic Interpretation of History’ concludes that
the survival of mankind into the future urgently requires that we cultivate in every oncoming generation a
consciousness that is willing and ready to die. This is squarely a challenge for educational research.
We must develop a curriculum that will enable every individual follow the ebb and flow of the
clan vital in the parabola of the life cycle, savour the joys of sex in the waxing phase
of the parabola and mellow with it in the waning phase.
