Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow.
a. A noble purpose gives meaning to one’s own life and is of benefit to others. I realised this when researching on and writing about the life of Jamshetji Tata. What gave one man living in a colonised country the vision to advance it in the community of nations? He not only gave India the power of hydroelectric energy, but also an institution of research.
b. He sent an educationist to Europe and the United States to report on what should be the best model for India. The John Hopkins University in Baltimore was recommended as the model. But Jamshetji made it a point to see that his name was not associated with the university. After his death ,his dream came true with the establishment of the Indian Institute of Science in Bengalure. It was to be the fountainhead of science in the decades to come.
c. There are others too whose purpose in life has made a difference to society. Mother Teresa had a comfortable life at Loretto Convent, Kolkata. On a train journey to Darjeeling. She felt her ‘calling’ and wanted to give up her comfortable life in the convent and serve the poor and the needy.
d. After that, she took a three month nursing course and returned to Kolkata.She devoted her time to the sick and homeless. Touched by her sacrifice, some of her students join her and work began. Not everyone has such a strong calling. When i asked her how one could be sure of one’s calling, she replied,” Deep down in our hearts we know exactly what our calling is, if we are sincere.”
e. One’s purpose is shaped over a period of time,but every noble purpose is based on a feeling for the suffering of others and a desire for alleviating that condition. Some years ago, in Kerala, a young man saw his father join Gandhiji and fight for opening temples to the Harijans. When he grew up, the boy decided to take agricultural studies, because he had seen the havoc caused by the Bengal famine. He went to Europe and studied agriculture. On hia return to India, he spearheaded the Green Revolution. Dr. M. S. Swaminathan demonstrates how purpose intensifies with time.
