Q1: UPPSC Mains 2023 UPPSC Mains 2023 Hindi: Mains Question

On the basis of the following passage, answer the questions given below: Our worldly life will certainly come to an end one day, but we must remember that our body is a torch which can continuously illuminate the world and guide society. That is, our life should not be useless; for society we should aspire to live a diligent and vigorous life. We must stand by the helpless and the poor; our entire worldly life should be spent in the attainment of some noble goal so that, when we leave this world, people may remember us. The objective of our life is righteous action, and righteous action can be performed only through our body. We accomplish our deeds by directing our body; if our deeds are so narrow that they serve only our selfish interest, then the body will be like the small lamp burning within us whose light benefits only us. But if we engage ourselves in work for public welfare, then indeed our body will be like a flaming torch whose radiance will not only influence others but also encourage them. In the world, that person is a leader who, by instilling enthusiasm in others, can awaken human energy and spread in the darkness of injustice and exploitation the light of protest, freedom and new change.
