a) It will attracts towards glass rod. Now touch the silver foil on the thermocol ball with charged glass rod. Remove the glass rod from the ball and against rub it with silk cloth and bring it close to the suspended ball.

b) The suspended ball moves away from the glass rod.

c) In the above activity when a charged body brought near an uncharged body it induces an opposite charge in it and hence it get attracted by the glass rod. In the second case we have charged the thermocol by touching it with a charged glass rod.

पुरानी परम्पराओं और सांस्कृतिक सामग्री का संरक्षण करके, हम संस्कृति को अगली पीढ़ी तक पहुँचाने में सफल हो सकते हैं। हमें प्राचीन ज्ञान की गुणवत्ता और मात्रा को बनाए रखना चाहिये और इसमें सुधार के प्रयास करने चाहिये। यह मानवीय ज्ञान, विश्वास और व्यवहार का समन्वित आदर्श प्रतिरूप है जो आगामी पीढ़ियों तक सीखना और ज्ञान का प्रसारण करने की क्षमता पर निर्भर करता है।

Faith in someone or something gives a kind of self-confidence. Any one having confidence doesn’t fear any thing. He becomes bold and hence behaves unkindly. He can face any difficulty easily and is able to give solution of every problem. Sometimes such persons treat others rudely also.

किसी व्यक्ति या वस्तु में आस्था होने से एक प्रकार का आत्म-विश्वास जाग्रत होता है। आस्था रखने वाले व्यक्ति को कोई भय नहीं होता। वह निर्भीक बन जाती हैं। और इसलिए रूखेपन से व्यवहार करता है। वह आसानी से कठिनाई का सामना कर सकता है और हर समस्या का समाधान देने में समर्थ होता है। कभी-कभी ऐसे व्यक्ति दूसरों के साथ रूखेपन से भी व्यवहार करते हैं।

How does the past literature influence today’s thoughts and feelings? प्राचीन साहित्य वर्तमान विचारों व भावनाओं को किस प्रकार प्रभावित करता है?

Answer»

To have read the greatest work of past literature, to have behold or heard the greatest work of any great painter or musician is a possession added to the best things of life. By such constant association, one’s mind is filled with genial thoughts and feelings. Cultivation of a sweetness of temper and acquirement of light of understanding may, therefore, be defined as the aim of one who desires to represent culture in one’s life. As one keeps oneself in constant association with the best that man has said and done i.e., with literature and philosophy, one experiences an enlargement of the mind.

प्राचीन साहित्य की सर्वश्रेष्ठ रचनाएं पढ़ना, किसी महानतम चित्रकार या संगीतज्ञ के सर्वश्रेष्ठ कार्य को देखना या सुनना, अपने जीवन की सर्वोत्तम बातों में सम्पत्ति की तरह, बढ़ोत्तरी करना है। इस प्रकार के निरन्तर जुड़ाव से व्यक्ति का मन मिलनसारिता के विचारों और भावनाओं से भर जाता है। व्यवहार में मधुरता पैदा करना, समझ की रोशनी अर्जित करना आदि व्यक्ति के जीवन के उद्देश्य हो सकते हैं जो संस्कृति को निरूपित करने की इच्छा करता हो। जो व्यक्ति किसी मानव द्वारा कहे या किये गये सर्वश्रेष्ठ कार्य जैसे साहित्य, दर्शन, आदि से निरन्तर सम्बन्धित रहता है तो वह अपने मन की विशालता को अनुभव कर पाता है।
