Read the passage carefully and answer the following question.
Nehru's was a many-sided personality. He enjoyed reading and writing books as much as he enjoyed fighting political and social evils or residing tyranny. In him, the scientist and the humanist were held in perfect balance. While he kept looking at special problems from a scientific standpoint. He never forgot that we should nourish the total man. As a scientist, he refused to believe in a benevolent power interested in men's affairs, but, as a self-proclaimed non-believer, he loved affirming his faith in life and the beauty of nature and the children he adored. Unlike Wordsworth, he did not see him trailing clouds of glory from the recent sojourn in heaven. He saw them as a blossom of promise and renewal, the only hope for mankind.
Which of the statements reflects Nehru's point of view?
