POLITICAL SCIENCE PAPER-III -III Note : This paper is of two hundred (200) marks containing four (4) sections. Candidates are required to attempt the questions contained in these sections according to the detailed instructions given therein. : (200) (4) D-0209 2 SECTION I I This section contains five (5) questions based on the following paragraph. Each question should be answered in about thirty (30) words and carries five (5) marks. (5 5 = 25 marks) (5) (30) (5) (5 5 = 25 ) Gandhi distinguishes between absolute truth which is universal and infinite and relative truth. Absolute truth exists beyond space and time and as we have seen, is identified with God. But with given space and time, absolute truth is only an ideal like the straight line of geometry. Thus Gandhi admitted, It is impossible for us to realize perfect truth so long as we are imprisoned in this mortal frame. We can only visualize it in our imagination. We cannot, through the instrumentality of this ephemeral body, see face to face truth which is external. Moreover, Seeing that the human mind works through innumerable media and that the evolution of the human mind is not same for all, it follows that what may be truth for one may be untruth for another . Thus what is known and available to us the mortal beings, is only relative truth and therefore what is known to us cannot be really claimed as absolute. The truth that is known to us is relative and by this what Gandhi appears to mean is that it is subjective and that is Truth in fragments . What he emphasises is that this relativity or subjectivity of truth should sober down the individuals and that they should make no attempt to impose their conception of truth upon other individuals or the society as a whole, since the truth known to them is only a partial truth. Moreover, relativity of truth also requires mutual toleration and compromise. They, in fact, are the essence of truth. It is only with the help of these virtues and with the help of a certain amount of moral discipline that one can arrive at objective truth. Gandhi accepts senseperception and reason as important sources of knowledge. They are not, however, the only means of acquiring knowledge. Intuition is for Gandhi one of the most important and even superior means of acquiring knowledge. The acknowledged superiority of this method to sense-perception and logical reasoning introduces super-natural elements in Gandhi. There is a very thin line between superstition and intuition and D-0209 3 P.T.O. one is treading a very dangerous path when he enters the realm of intuition. Even then this thin line is well maintained by Gandhi. He puts various conditions and limitations on the use of intuition only to make it practical and danger proof. Thus he believed, Just as for conducting scientific experiments there is an indispensable scientific course of instruction, in the same way strict preliminary discipline is necessary to qualify a person to make experiments in the spiritual realm. Everyone should, therefore, realize his limitations before he speaks of his inner voice. Therefore, we have the belief based upon experience, that those who would make individual search after truth as God, must go through several vows, as for instance, the vow of truth, the vow of brahmacharya (purity) the vow of non-violence, of poverty and nonpossession. Unless you impose on yourselves the five vows, you may not embark on the experiment at all. There are several other conditions prescribed .. It is again, because of the dangerous character of the relative concept of truth that Gandhi emphasizes that there is one and only one method of insisting on truth and that this is the method of ahimsa or non-violence. , , , , , , : , , , - , , ... :, , , - D-0209 4 , , - :, , , , , , :, , , , , , , , .... , , 1.
