Q.1. Read the following passage carefully:

THE LORD HAS NO FIXED FORM
1. There was an artist who had travelled far and wide and had an extensive reputation. But
so far he had not achieved access to Krishna! As such he was anxious to seek approbation
from Lord Krishna as well. Luckily, one day he got an appointment with Krishna, met Him
and requested Him to stay still, so that he could paint His picture. He prepared the outline
and told Krishna that he would get ready with the final painting in a week's time. Krishna
knew the ego of the painter. After a week, the painter brought a finished portrait, covered
with a white cloth. When he uncovered the painting, the painter himself was shocked to find
the lack of similarity between Krishna and the painting. The painter was completely shaken
and asked for another week to get the job done. The painter tried several times but each
time the result was equally disappointing. In complete frustration and total dejection, he
wanted to leave the city and go away.
2. Before he left he chanced upon sage Narada. Narada told him that it was silly to attempt
to paint the picture of Lord Krishna. The Lord has no fixed form and he can change His face
every second. Narada advised, 'If you want to paint Him, I will tell you a way which will
enable you to do so.' Narada whispered something into the ear of the artist. Following the
advice given by Narada, the painter came back with a white cloth covering something and
again approached Krishna and told him that this time, he is welcome to change to any form.
The painting under all circumstances will look exactly like Him, when the cloth was removed,
Krishna saw only a mirror and this mirror produced an exact replica of Krishna. Therefore,
from this story we deduce that one cannot imagine God to be in a particular form. Neither
can one describe God. Make your mind clear, clean and unbiased like a mirror, fill it with
love and devotion; that itself will enable you to have a true vision of God.
Choose the most appropriate option out of the following:
(i) The desire of the artist was...
(a) to meet Lord Krishna

when he realised that he was unsuccessful.
(a) attack the Lord
(b) accept that he was great
(c) leave the city and go away (d) meet Narada
