Answer 1 (B) :-
Dear Diary,
Today my father starting his day at 4 a.m. by reading the namaz before dawn as usual. After the namaz, he used to walk down to a small coconut grove we owned, about 4 miles from our home. He returned, with about a dozen coconuts tied together thrown over his shoulder, and only then would he have his breakfast. This remained his routine even when he was in his late sixties. The high priest of Rameswaram temple, Pakshi Lakshmana Sastry, was a very close friend of my father’s. One of the most vivid memories of my early childhood is of the two men, each in his traditional attire, discussing spiritual matters. When I was old enough to ask questions, I asked my father about the relevance of prayer.
Today I asked a question to my father that what is the relevance of prayer. My father told me there was nothing mysterious about prayer. Rather, prayer made possible a communion of the spirit between people. He said that “When you pray, you transcend your body and become a part of the cosmos, which knows no division of wealth, age, caste, or creed.” We lived in our ancestral house, which was built in the middle of the 19th century. It was a fairly large pucca house, made of limestone and brick, on the Mosque Street in Rameswaram. It is so amazing place I really enjoyed staying here. The nature, beauty, the people of various cultures lives so happily in harmony. After that I had lunch with my mother, sitting on the floor of the kitchen. She placed a banana leaf before me, on which she then ladled rice and aromatic sambhar, a variety of sharp, home-made pickles and a dollop of fresh coconut chutney. I have endeavoured to understand the fundamental truths revealed to me by my father, and feel convinced that there exists a divine power that can lift one up from confusion, misery, melancholy and failure, and guide one to one’s true place. And once an individual severs his emotional and physical bondage, he is on the road to freedom, happiness and peace of mind. The day was quite good. I hope that one day I will become like my father. I am really lucky to be a part of a family where everyone is happy and cultured and also spiritual.
