नीचे दिए गए गद्यांश को ध्यानपूर्वक पढ़िए तथा गद्यांश पर आधारित प्रश्नों का उत्तर बताइए:
मनुष्य के जीवन में स्वावलंबन और आत्मनिर्भरता दोनों का वास्तविक अर्थ एक ही माना जाता है। स्वावलंबन का अर्थ है आश्रय या सहारा बनना और आत्मनिर्भरता का अर्थ है किसी दूसरे का बोझ न बनकर या किसी पर निर्भर न होकर अपने – आप पर निर्भर रहना। इस तरह दोनों शब्द परावलंबन या पराश्रिता त्यागकर सब प्रकार के दु:ख– कष्ट सहकर भी अपने पैरों पर खड़े रहने की शिक्षा और प्रेरणा देने वाले शब्द हैं। मानव जगत में दूसरों पर आश्रित होना एक प्रकार का पाप, व्यक्ति के अंत: व्यक्तित्व को हीन या तुच्छ बना देने वाला हुआ करता है। पराश्रित अवस्था में व्यक्ति आश्रयदाता के अधीन बन कर रह जाता है। इशारों पर नाचने वाली कठपुतली बन कर रह जाता है। उसमे पवित्र बाध्यता और विवशता ही दिखाई देती है। तनिक-सी अभिलाषा के लिए भी दूसरों का मुहॅ ताकना पड़ता है। मन मार कर जीवन व्यतीत करना पड़ता है। इसलिए स्वाधीनता एवं स्वावलंबन को स्वर्ग का द्वार पुण्य-कार्यो का परिणाम और सर्वोच्च कार्य स्वीकार किया गया है।
इस गद्यांश को उचित शीर्षक दीजिए।
