Question

VI. Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:- [05]

Actually,besidestheGod-givennaturalabilitytothink,twomorethingsarenecessaryinorder tothink

effectively. These areknowledge andorganization. The reasonyoucan'tthinkclearly about certain

problems is that you do not have enough relevant knowledge or experience pertaining to them. If you

have no knowledge of a subject, you have no starting pointfor your thoughts; or you will think from a

wrong premise and, of course, think incorrectly. Since thought isthe "go" sign for action, itseemslikely

that you will act incorrectly and do the wrong thing.

Obviously,the nextthing toworry aboutis howto go about obtaining thisrelevant knowledge. Again, you

must take the time to go out and search for it, if it pertains to some particular problemyoumustsolve.

Apartfromdefinite andparticular problems, yourrelevantknowledge can onlybe acquired through

experience,fromsociety in general,fromlisteningto others and from reading.

Don't think because you converse with other people almost constantly, and read quite a bit, that you are

necessarily acquiring all the knowledge you are exposed to. One important ingredient may be missing - that

is, interest. You must have a spontaneous and genuine interest and / or curiosity about a subject in order to

gain much knowledge about it. One good way, incidentally, of being interested in others is to stop thinking of

yourself so much. Listen a little more than you talk and you may learn something. Another way of acquiring

knowledge is to read with your mind instead of only with youreyes.

2. What is the danger if you have no knowledge of a subject?
