Directions: Read the passage carefully and answer the given questions.

Miss Martha Meacham kept the little bakery on the corner (the one where you go up three steps, and the bell tinkles when you open the door). Miss Martha was forty, her bank-book showed a credit of two thousand dollars, and she possessed two false teeth and a sympathetic heart. Many people have married whose chances to do so were much inferior to Miss Martha's.

Two or three times a week a customer came in whom she began to take an interest. He was a middle-aged man, wearing spectacles and a brown beard trimmed to a careful point. He spoke English with a strong German accent. His clothes were worn and darned in places, and wrinkled and baggy in others. But he looked neat and had very good manners. He always bought two loaves of stale bread. Fresh bread was five cents a loaf. Stale ones were two for five. Never did he call for anything but stale bread. Once, Miss Martha saw a red and brown stain on his fingers. She was sure then that he was an artist and very poor. No doubt he lived in a garret, where he painted pictures and ate stale bread and thought of the good things to eat in Miss Martha's bakery. Often when Miss Martha sat down to her chops and light rolls and jam and tea she would sigh, and wish that the gentle-mannered artist might share her tasty meal instead of eating his dry crust in that draughty attic. Miss Martha's heart, as you have been told, was a sympathetic one.

156

Why did the customer buy stale bread?

  1. ((a))

    He used to buy them for his dog

  2. ((b))

    He loved the taste of it.

  3. ((c))

    He was an artist and artists preferred stale bread

  4. ((d))

    He was poor and stale breads were cheaper.

भारतीय दर्शन सिखाता है कि जीवन एक आशय और लक्ष्य है, उस आशय की खोज हमारा दायित्व है और अंत में उस लक्ष्य को प्राप्त कर लेना हमारा विशेष अधिकार है। इस प्रकार दर्शन वह है जो कि आशय को उद्धाटित करने की कोशिश करता है और जहाँ तक उसे इसमें सफलता मिलती है, वह इस लक्ष्य तक अग्रसर होने की प्रक्रिया करता है, कुल मिलाकर आखिर यह लक्ष्य क्या है? इस अर्थ में यथार्थ की प्राप्ति वह है जिसमें पा लेना, केवल जानना नहीं है, बल्कि उसी का अंश हो जाना है। इस उपलब्धि में बाधा क्या है? बाधाएँ कई हैं, पर इनमें प्रमुख है-अज्ञान। अशिक्षित आत्मा नहीं है, यहाँ तक कि यथार्थ संसार भी नहीं है। यह दर्शन ही है जो उसे शिक्षित करता है और अपनी शिक्षा से उसे उस अज्ञान से मुक्ति दिलाता है, जो यथार्थ दर्शन नहीं होने देता। इस प्रकार एक दार्शनिक होना एक बौद्धिक अनुगमन करना नहीं, बल्कि एक शक्तिप्रद अनुशासन पर चलना है, क्योंकि सत्य की खोज में लगे हुए सही दार्शनिक को अपने जीवन को इस प्रकार आचरित करना पड़ता है ताकि उस यथार्थ से एकाकार हो जाए जिसे वह खोज रहा है। वास्तव में, यही जीवन का एकमात्र सही मार्ग है और सभी दार्शनिकों को ही नहीं, बल्कि सभी मनुष्यों को, इसका पालन करना होता है, क्योंकि सभी मनुष्यों के दायित्व और निर्यात एक ही हैं।
