Back to paper

Read the above paragraph and choose the correct answers for the questions given below.

Helping others physically, by removing their physical needs, is indeed a good thing, but spiritual help is more substantial, as it is more far reaching because the need is greater. ... It is only with the knowledge of the spirit that the faculty of want is annihilated forever, so helping man spiritually is the best help that can be extended to him. He who gives spiritual knowledge is the greatest benefactor of mankind. A spiritually strong man can be powerful in every other respect, if he so wishes. Until there is spiritual strength in man, even physical needs cannot be well satisfied. Next to spiritual comes intellectual help.

Ignorance is death, knowledge is life.
