Basava – The Temple and the Body

The rich will make temples for Siva.

What shall I, a poor man, do?

My legs are pillars, the body the shrine,

the head a cupola of gold.

Listen, O Lord of the meeting rivers,

things standing shall fall,

but the moving ever shall stay.

The wealthy prove their piety by financing temples (or churches or mosques). Their devotion is concretized in stone and gold. It’s easy for a poor man, witnessing the splendor of a wealthy shrine, to imagine himself far behind on the road to heaven. What can he offer to compete with that? What temple can he build to offer proper worship? Basava gives us the solution offered by saints everywhere: Make of yourself a temple. My legs are pillars,the body the shrine, the head a cupola of gold.

This is where all true meditation, prayer, communion occurs. The built temple is but a reflection of the temple of the self. And that true temple is available to all, rich and poor, equally. Basava carries it further, pointing out how far superior the inner temple is. “Things standing,” structures built of wood or stone, no matter how lovely or inspiring, are destined to fall. A temple of stone stands but does not move. It lacks the life necessary to continually adjust itself to the shifting forces of time and gravity and the flow of nature all around; it is already crumbling,but the moving ever shall stay.

That which is animated, the temple of the embodied self, has life! It dances with the flow of existence and that life continues. Worship that takes place within that living temple lives as well, and lasts.

(i) Notes:
1. Religion seemed to be associated with
1.1. superstitious practices
1.2. dogmatic beliefs
1.3. a scientific approach

2. An element of magic
2.1. an uncritical credulousness
2.2. a reliance on supernatural

3. Religion had produced
3.1. many fine types of men and women
3.2. bigoted
3.3. narrow-minded
3.4. cruel tyrants
3.5. a set of values to human life

4. Religion dealt with:
4.1. uncharted regions of human experience
4.1.1. considered an extension of the known and charted region
4.2. Methods of science and religion utterly unlike one another

5. Normal methods of science not wholly adapted to:
5.1. physical
5.2. artistic
5.3. spiritual
5.4. other elements of the invisible world

(ii) Summary
No religion could attract me due to superstitious practices and dogmatic beliefs. Religion continued in practice because of an uncritical credulousness, a reliance on the supernatural. It was obvious that the vast majority of people could not do without religion. Religion had not only produced many fine types of men and women but also given a set of values to human life. On the other hand, it had produced bigoted, narrow-minded and cruel tyrants.

Religion also dealt with the uncharted regions of human experience. The methods of science and religion were totally unlike each other. Science was making tentative approaches to vast unknown regions all around us. The normal methods of science were not wholly adapted to the physical, the artistic, the spiritual and other elements of the invisible world.

4.3. good conversation.

5. Lost values
5.1. simplicity
5.2. innocence
5.3. honesty
5.4. high thinking
5.5. intelligent to simpleton

(ii) Summary
In modern life, complex living and low thinking have taken place of simple living and high thinking. Now people have a difference in thoughts and on lips. The majority of people are cheats and robbers. In modern life, people have faith in artificiality, pomp and show. Now the concept of being accepted is good personality, good manners, clean dress and good power of conversation. But high virtues have lost their value these days.

Correct option is C) blurt out

Correct option (b)Must be a distortion less line

Explanation:

If the transmission line is to have neither frequency nor delay distortion, then α (attenuation constant) and velocity of propagation cannot be functions of frequency.

V = ω/β

β must be a direct function of frequency to achieve this condition

LG = CR

L/C = R/G

z₀ = √((R + jωL)/(G + jωC))

For a lossless line, z₀ = √(L/C)

α = √(RG) = 0 for R = 0, G = 0

β = ω√(LC)

A loss less line is always a distortion less line

Correct option (c) 12.5Ω

Explanation:

VSWR(S) = V_max/V_min = 4/1

S = 4

Z_max = z₀S

Z_min = Z₀/S

As minima is at load

z_L = zmin = z₀/s

Z_L = 50/4 = 12.5Ω

Correct option (c) ∞

Explanation:

Reflection coefficient = = (zL - z0)/(zL + z0)

= (j50 - 50)/(j50  + 50) = (-50 + j50)/(50 + j50)

= √(50² + 50²)/√(50² + 50²) = 1

VSWR = (1 + ||)/(1 - ||) = (1 + 1)/(1 - 1) = 2/0 = ∞

Correct option (d)(infinity)

Explanation:

Reflection coefficient

Γ = (z_L - z₀)/(z_L + z₀) = (j100 - 50)/(j100 + 50)

Γ = √(100² + 50²)/√(100² + 50²) = 1

VSWR = (1 + |Γ|)/(1 - |Γ|) = (1 + 1)/(1 - 1) = 2/0 = ∞

Correct option (a) – 0.6

Explanation:

The reflection coefficient

Γ = (z_L - z₀)/(z_L + z₀)

Γ = (12.5 - 50)/(12.5 + 50) = - 0.6

(d) 1 and ∞

VSWR = \(\frac{1+|\rho |}{1-|\rho|}\)

Where \(\rho\) is reflection coefficient \(\rho\) can take values between 0 and 1

when \(\rho\) = 0, VSWR = 1 

\(\rho\) = 1, VSWR = ∞

Correct option (b)

Explanation:

The line is terminated with 50 ohms at the ends, so matched on both the sides thus S₁₁ = 0, S₂₂ = 0 and S₁₂ = S₂₁ = 1

(a) – 0.6

The reflection coefficient

r = \(\frac{Z_L-Z_0}{Z_L+Z_0}\)

r = \(\frac{12.5-50}{12.5+50}\) = - 0.6

On a lossless line of R₀ = 75Ω with resistance load R_L

VSWR = S = 3

S = R_L/R₀ if R_L > R₀

= R₀/R_L if R_L < R₀

R_L = SR₀ = 3 x 75Ω

= 225Ω

R_L = R₀/S if R_L < R₀

= 75/3 = 25Ω

VSWR = (1 + |Γ|)/(1 - |Γ|), Γ = (R_L - R₀)/(R_L + R₀)

for R₀ = 75Ω, R_L = 25Ω

Γ = (R_L - R₀)/(R_L + R₀) = 150/300 = 1/2

|Γ| = 1/2 in either case and S = (1 + 1/2)/(1 - 1/2) = 3

The statement, the load impedance can only be 25Ω is FALSE

Correct option (d) 25 Ω

Explanation:

For a λ/4 line of characteristic impedance Z₀ and terminated by Z_L , input impedance

z₁ = z²₀/z_L

z₁ = z²₀/z_L1 = 100²/50 = 200Ω 

z₂ = z²₀/z_L2 = 100²/50 = 200Ω 

z_L = z₁ || z₂ = 200 || 200 = 100Ω 

z_i = z²₀/z_L = 50²/100 = 25Ω 

(c) 12.5Ω

VSWR (S) = \(\frac{V_{max}}{V_{min}}\) = \(\frac41\)

S = 4

Z_max = Z₀S

Z_min = \(\frac{Z_0}S\)

As minima is at load

Z_L =  Z_min = \(\frac{Z_0}S\)

Z_L = \(\frac{50}4\) = 12.5 Ω

Correct option (b) 1 GHz

Explanation:

Distance between adjacent voltage maximum

Correct option (D) 6.06 %

Explanation:

l = 300 km,

β = 0.00127 rad/km

Wavelength is given by,

λ = 2π/β = 2π/0.00127 = 4947.39Km

% Ratio = l/λ x 100%

% Ratio = 300/4947.39 x 100% = 6.06%

Correct Answer is: (d) respectively anticlockwise and clockwise

When S is closed, the clockwise current I_P flowing through P produces a magnetic field B directed from E to Q to P. This field B, by Lenz’s law, causes an anticlockwise current I_Q1 in Q. When S is opened, B decreases. This induces a clockwise current I_Q2 in Q.
