passage .The real omament of a woman is her character, her purity. Metal and stones can never be real ornaments. The names of women like Sita, Savitri and Damayanti have become sacred to us for their unsullied virtue, never for their jewellery, if there were any. My asking from you, your jewellery has also a wider significance. Several sisters have told me that they feel all the better for getting rid of their jewellery. I have called this an act of merit to more ways than one. No man of woman is entitled to the possession of wealth unless he or she has given a fair share of it to the poor and helpless. It is a social and religious obligation and has been called a sacrifice by the Bhagavad Gita. He/she who does not offer this sacrifice has been called a thief. For us, today, there can be no sacrifice higher than to forget the distinctions of high and low and to realize the equality of all men and women. I also wish to bring home to the women of India that the real ornamentation lies not in loading the body with metal and stone but in purifying the heart and developing the beauty of soul. QUESTIONS : (a) What is the real omamentation of the women? (b) What is author's advice to the women of India? (c) Who is termed as thief according to the Bhagavad Gita? (d) Explain the italicized portions. (e) Write the summary of the above passage
