Question:

Read the following comprehension and answer the question that follow :

The Upanisad tells us that what we should know is a knowledge of God, not an intellectual knowledge, but an illumined personal experience of the Supreme. There is a world of difference between those who say asti brahmä and those who say aham brahim'smi. There are many people who go about saying God exists, but that knowledge of the existence of God is indirect, it is not personal, it is merely theoretical and borrowed knowledge. Those who say, I have felt the reality of God in the pulse of my being, I have felt Him in my nerves and my bones, I know Him as deeply as I know myself, that is the true knowledge of God: what the Gita calls brahma samsparsa; what the Christian scriptures say, "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." It is the pure in heart who shall see God. It is that sight of God for which we all crave. Mahatma Gandhi writes, "For the last 30 years I have been striving to see God face to face." The end of religion, therefore, is a personal encounter with the Divine. It is a personal insight into the ultimate root of things. It is that which constitutes a man into a religious man.

The learned people talk about it, the priests chant hymns about it, other people say what they please, but the realised soul, the soul who has seen God, is the truly religious man, is the authentically religious man. It is that knowledge of God which we are called upon to develop. It is that we have to cultivate; and when we reach it, then only can we call ourselves truly religious beings.
