Read the passage given below and answer any 10 questions that follow: We have but one method of acquiring knowledge. From the lowest man to the highest yogi,all have to use the same method, and that method is called concentration. Concentrationimplies, first, an ability to release one’s thoughts and emotions from all other interests andinvolvements, and second, an ability to focus them on a single object or state of awareness.Concentration may assume various manifestations, from a dynamic outpouring of energy toperfectly quiescent perceptions. On every level of mental activity, it is the concentration thatis the key to success. What is not generally known is that a concentrated mind succeeds notonly because it can solve problems with greater dispatch, but also because problems have away of somehow vanishing before its focused energies, without even requiring to be solved.A concentrated mind often attracts opportunities for success that, to less focused individuals,appear to come by sheer luck.The chemist who works in his laboratory concentrates all the powers of his mind, bringsthem into one focus, and throws them on the elements, and the elements stand analyzed, andthus his knowledge comes. The astronomer also concentrates the powers of his mind andbrings them into one focus and then throws them on to objects through his telescope andstars and systems roll forward and give up their secrets to him. So it is in every case—withthe professor in his chair, the students and his books—with every man who is working toknow.The more this power of concentration is, the more is the knowledge acquired, because this isthe one and the only method of acquiring it. Even the lowest shoeblack, if he pays moreconcentration, will polish shoes better, the cook with his concentration will focus all hisattention on the work at hand and will cook a better meal. In making money or inworshipping God, or in doing anything, the stronger the power of concentration, the betterwill be that work is done.Even though concentration is the key to acquiring knowledge—Concentration itself is noteasy to attain. It is a skill that can be developed only through a lot of patience and practice.He who masters it is real 'yogi'. To control our senses and to gather all our awareness intoone focus is by no means an easy task. Life itself is complex and there are invariably severalissues vying for our attention which makes it even more difficult to focus on only one thing.Even if we try to concentrate fully on the work in hand, our subconscious mind is scatteredin varied directions and soon drags our conscious mind along, without even our realizing it.It, therefore, requires a lot of discipline, will power and self-control to focus or concentrate.However, the effort is worth it and pays rich dividends in the form of accomplishment of ourgoals. This is the one call, the one knock which opens the gate of nature, and lets out floods oflight.Answer the following questions:i. What is the pre-requisite for acquiring knowledge?1. Focus2.
