The knowledge of philosophy can be attained by searching for the truth however before doing so one must be able to distinguish between fact and fiction.The catharsis of the body and mind leads to disregard for all worldly pleasures bringing infinite joy to the individual.There are 6 pivotal qualities which must also be possessed if one is to start on this quest.Finally destruction of one's ego for the achievement of absolute enlightenment helps in winning over the world by giving up the self and prepares the individual for the quest of the truth.

The essence of Philosophy aims to seek after truth by fulfilling certain conditions. First to discriminate between the real and unreal, and true and false. Second to search for the highest good through infinite, enduring joy. Third to possess the six treasures of life, i.e. tranquil mind, self-control patience, poise, burning faith and self-surrender. Fourth to attain spiritual illumination by annihilation of the false ego. For Sri Ramakrishna the died ego doesn't meant lost individuality at all. And in Kalidasa's words the ideal of renunciation consists in owning the whole world while disowning ones own self.

Philosophy leads to truth ; which owns some prerequisites.Firstly to tell the real from unreal, a clear distinction of eternal and ephemeral, instead of long considerations, should be there.Secondly spritual purgation delivers us from wordly pleasures.As a third step learning through peace, control , composure , adherence to spirit and self denial through mind and soul are the main imperatives.At last abandoning self love and snobbish nature leads to success as said by Ramakrishna and losing self ego doesn't deprive one of self respect. Artisans like Kalidasa assert the wordly detachment as the eternal conquest of this world.

Precis Practice 3



The essence of poetry is that it deals with events which concern a large number of people and can be grasped not as immediate personal experience but as matter known largely from heresy and presented in simplified and often abstract forms. it is thus the antithesis of all poetry which deals with the special, individual activity of the self and tries to present this as specially and as individually as it can. The poet who deals with public themes may himself be affected, even deeply, by contemporary events at some point in his own being, but to see them in their breadth and depth he must rely largely on what he hears from other men and from mass instruments of communication. From the start his impulse to write about them is different from any impulse to write about his own affairs. It may be just as strong and just as compelling, but it is not of the same kind. He has to give his own version of something which millions of others may share with him, and however individual he may wish to be, he cannot avoid relying to a large extent on much that he knows only from second hand.
Fundamentally this may not matter, for after all what else did Shakespeare do: but the political poet does not construct an imaginary past, he attempts to grasp and interpret a vast present. Between him and his subject there is a gap which he can never completely cross, and all his attempts to make events part of himself must be to some extent hampered by recalcitrant elements in them, which he does not understand or cannot assimilate or find irrelevant to his creative task. in such poetry selection which is indispensable to all art, has to be made from an unusually large field of possibilities and guided by an exacting sense of what really matters and what does not. On one side he may try to include too much and lose himself in issues where be is not imaginatively at home, on the other side he may see some huge event merely from a private angle which teed not meab much to others. Political poetry oscillates between these extremes, and its history in our time has been largely attempts to make the best of one or the other of them
or to see what compromises can be made between them.

The real spirit of potery is based on collective thinking and attitudes instead of personal caprices.A poet might be effective in terms of his personal opinion of public matters but the mass social interaction is as necessary as his personal experience of the events. Despite his personal view of the events he can't express them witout being subjected to the two way communication process.
Though shakespeare didn't adhere to this, yet for political poetry , it should be real present instead of emotional past , which might entail cognitive dissonance in a poet's mind; for objectivity largely refutes his personal thinking .His poetical ideas fluctuate between the hectic inclusion of objective reality and his personal views of paltry public importance. And the political poetry is a balance between these two extremes.

Welldone All,
you all are doing well. i will continue our this practice if such gd response will be there. i hope u all will keep practicing here as Precis is very imp part of English (comp) paper

Précis: - Philosophy of Truth


Truth can be attained by Philosophy after fulfilling certain conditions. A person who wants to seek truth must have ability to differentiate between original & artificial also between temporary & eternal things without having complete knowledge of absolute reality. A truth seeker should also have self control & peace of mind which have importance in life. A truth seeking aspirant can enter in path of illumination by destruction of its false ego. A truth seeking aspirant should prepare himself for losing self identity & achieving world.

Title:-Contours of Political Poetry

Keeping aside selfdom,brief and simple reflection of mass's savor of life is exactly what mark the poetry to which self-centered poetic creation is contrariety .Dependence on outside elements is inevitable for authentic poetical elaboration, even if poet himself has witnessed any happening .
.Obvious touch of individuality from poet's part is bound to get along with others informative resources too.
Unlike Shakespeare ,focal point of a political poet is current happenings .However, his all efforts to bridge the gulf that lies between him and his subject,encounter some factors that are immpossible to be accpeted unquestionably.So, it makes him cautiously choosy,though,sometimes It leads him to practice his poetical abilities on alien grounds and to unnecessarily magnification of an issue. Today's political poetry is characterized by these two extremes and of their fusion.

If you think you can, you can. And if you think you can't, you're right.

One of the fundamental facts about words is that the most useful ones in our language have many meanings. That is partly why they are so useful: they work overtime.Think of -all the various things we mean by the word “foot” on different occasion: one of the lower extremities of the human body, a measure of verse, the ground about a tree, twelve inches,- the floor in front of the stairs. The same is true of nearly every common noun or verb.
Considering the number of ways of taking a particular word, the tusk of speaking clearly and being understood would seem pretty hopeless if it were not for another very important fact about language. Though a word may have many senses, these senses can be controlled, up to a point,by the context in which the word is used. When we find the word in a particular verbal setting we can usually decide quite definitely which of the many senses of the word relevant. If a poet says his verse has feet, it doesn’t occur to you that he could mean it’s a yard long or is threelegged (unless perhaps you are a critic planning to puncture the poet with a pun about his “lumping verse”). The context rules out these maverick senses quite decisively.

Multiple meanings of words and their uses:

It is a verity that a particular word has more than one valuable meaning. Multiple meanings of a word make it desperate to use. Albeit a word has many senses that can be hold by using it in an appropriate manner. But a critique can use these ambiguous meanings of words to censure over the writings. The perspective tells that these sorts of words should be used determinedly.
