    The correct answer is "Knowledge of the Self." This implies that having a deep understanding and awareness of one's own true nature and inner being is the greatest purifier. It suggests that self-realization and self-awareness are essential for spiritual growth and purification of the soul. This knowledge helps individuals to overcome their ego, desires, and attachments, leading to inner peace, clarity, and transformation.

    • Paritranaya

    • Vinasaya cha dushkrtam

    Correct Answer
    A. Tatadmanam srjamyaham
    Explanation
    The missing line in the verse is "tadatmanam srjamyaham," which means "I manifest myself." This line completes the verse and is part of a famous verse from the Bhagavad Gita. The verse is spoken by Lord Krishna to Arjuna and emphasizes that whenever there is a decline in righteousness and an increase in unrighteousness, the divine manifests itself to restore balance and protect the virtuous. The correct answer reflects the continuation of this message, where the divine manifests itself for the establishment of righteousness and the destruction of evil.

    • The doubting Soul

    • One who overcomes ego through knowledge

    Correct Answer
    A. The doubting Soul
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "The doubting Soul." This is because the statement "There is no happiness for the one who performs actions without desiring fruits, one who purifies with the fire of knowledge, and one who overcomes ego through knowledge" suggests that all of these qualities lead to happiness, except for the doubting soul. The doubting soul implies a lack of faith or trust, which can hinder one's ability to experience happiness.

    • By Fasting

    • Sword of Knowledge

    • Through retiring to caves in Himalayas

    • By satsang

    Correct Answer
    A. Sword of Knowledge
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Sword of Knowledge" because it implies that doubts born out of ignorance can be cleared through acquiring knowledge. Just like a sword can cut through obstacles, knowledge can eliminate doubts and provide clarity. Fasting, retiring to caves in the Himalayas, and satsang (spiritual discourse) may have their own benefits, but they do not directly address the issue of clearing doubts born out of ignorance.

    • Family

    • Attachment to fruits of action

    Correct Answer
    A. Attachment to fruits of action
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Attachment to fruits of action". This means that the person has let go of their attachment to the outcomes or results of their actions. They are content and do not depend on anything external for their happiness. Despite being engaged in actions, they do not have any desire or expectation for specific outcomes. They have detached themselves from the results and are simply focused on performing their duties without any attachment.
