Q.46-50)

Read RC Passage to Answer:

‘Being value-centred is important to the experience of fulfilment in my life’: Here the thought has the stamp of the core concept of ‘value-centred’ and ‘fulfilment’. This is good. However, it has yet not moved into creative imagination of how this can be made possible in reality. Thus, it runs the risk of becoming an opinion or simply, a nice thought. ‘A value-centred life is tough in today’s world’. This thought formation could arise from a past experience where life was made difficult by being value-centred. Also, there could be stories and imagined scenarios being created in the mind, ‘what if…”, ‘what if not…”, etc. This could be related to the comfort-seeking nature of the senses and a part of the vital life-force that wants to take the easy way out. If one’s core essential concept is fulfilment, these imaginary formations can be halted and the thought can be frozen. Now one can note that without the clarity that the core principle is ‘fulfilment’, this imagination will often be allowed to fashion and complete its formation. This in turn, will affect the quality of our life and the choices made then may not serve the ‘fulfillment’ value of the individual. The idea force can use its sanctioning power to move those thought formations that are aligned to the core concept of ‘value-centred living’ and fulfilment and make still or reject those thought formations that fed by ‘fear’, ‘anxiety’, ‘desire for compromised quicker success’. etc. And if a value or ideal is ot clear, it can reach back to the pure mind for further clarity’.
