Directions : Read the following passage and answer the following questions Nos. 1 to 4.

The great Acharyas have said that having discovered a great goal, surrender yourself to that goal and towards it drawing your4nspiration from that goal whereby you will get a new column of energy. Do not allow this energy to be dissipated in the futile memories of the past regrets or failures, excitement of the present. And thus bring that entire energy focused into activity. That is the highest creative action in the world outside. Thereby the individual who is still now considered most inefficient finds his way to the highest achievement and success.
This is said very easily in a second. But in order to train our mind to this attitude it needs considerable training because we have already trained the mind wrongly to such an extent that we have become perfect in imperfections. Not knowing the art of action, we have been master artists in doing the wrong thing, the totality of activity will bring the country to a wrong end indeed.
If each one is given a car, to achieve an ideal socialistic pattern and nobody knowns driving but everybody starts driving, what would be the condition on the road? Everybody has equal right on the public road. Then each car must necessarily dash against the other and there is bound to be a jumble.
This seems to be a very apt pattern of life that we are heading to. Every one of us is a vehicle. We know how to go forward.
