मनुष्य को ईष्वर की ओर से समयरूपी शक्ति प्राप्त हुई है | जो व्यक्ति इस शक्ति का समुचित प्रयोग करता है उसे शारीरिक और आध्यत्मिक आनन्दो की प्राप्ति होती है | समय के सदुपयोग से अज्ञानी को ज्ञान, मूर्ख को बुद्धि, निर्बल को बल की प्राप्ति होती है | समय का सदुपयोग मनुष्य को देवता बना देता है| समय का उपयोग बहुमूल्य पदार्थो की भांति करना चाहिए| जो व्यक्ति ऐसा न करके व्यर्थ में समयरूपी धन को बर्बाद कर देता है, आलसी और अकर्मण्य बना रहता है वह आत्महत्या करता है| बेकार बैठे रहने के कारण न केवल समय बर्बाद होता है वरन इसके कारण मन के और आत्मानंद, शांति और संतोष की प्राप्ति नहीं हो पाती| प्रसिध्द अग्रेजी नाटककार शेक्सपियर का कथन है की समय ही जीवन है| ठीक ही है क्योकि आयु तो समय के ही नपी जा सकती है|

Civilization is difficult to define since we are surrounded by it all the time. It is difficult to see something which is very much a part of us. In a sense it is a characteristic of the human race and distinguishes it from animals. There has been an attempt to study various civilizations, their rise, spread and decline. There have also been many attempts to reconstruct an original uncivilized state of man and the beginnings of civiliztion. For some time it was believed that civilization had something to do with cuties. But it is now clear that many tribes that lived outside of cities had well-developed languages, literatures, religions, arts and crafts. They had all the marks of civilization and culture.

- Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:
The life of Shivaji was full of action and achievement. He built a large and brave army and laid the foundations of an organised state. Just by force of his achievement and personality, he shaped the Marathas unto a nation. Many of his qualities were rare in that age. He performed not only the old Hindu religious rites, but also practised a broad-minded toleration. A Musalman holy man was as respectable to his as a Brahmin. He would cause no harm to any holy building of Islam. He could punish severely, but he was not by nature either cruel or bloodthirsty. Towards woman he displayed a gentle treatment. The spiritual lessons which he had learned from his mother were strengthened by his famous Guru, Ramdas. Apart from his peculiar genius, he was a notable example of what the old hindu training could produce.
