Read the passage and answer the following question The New Testament produced a different impression, especially the Sermon on the Mount, which went straight to my heart. I compared it with Gita. The verses, “But I say unto you, that ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if any man take away thy coat let him have thy cloak too,” delighted me beyond measure and put me in mind of Sharmal Bhatt’s “For a bowl of water, give a goodly meal” etc. My young mind tried to unify the teaching of the Gita, The Light of Asia and the Sermon on the Mount. That renunciation was the highest form of religion appealed to me greatly. This reading whetted my appetite for studying the lives of other religious teachers. A friend recommended Carlyle’s Heroes and Hero-Worship. I read the chapter on the Hero as a prophet and learnt of the Prophet’s greatness and bravery and austere living. Beyond this acquaintance with religion I could not go at the moment, as reading for the examination left me scarcely any time for outside subjects. But I took mental note of the fact that I should read more religious books and acquaint myself with all the principal religions.
Why has Sharmal Bhatt’s “For a bowl of water, give a goodly meal” been mentioned in the passage?
To denote that different impression is not produced as with the case of New Testament
To emphasize the unified teachings of different religious texts which he read
To denote that he wished to read more religious books and acquaint himself with all the principal religions
To emphasize that the lives of other religious teachers and their quest for austerity
Correct answer is (b).
