LIC Assistant Prelims Mock Test - 4 - Insurance Exams MCQ

Rahul, a young householder, used to study the scriptures everyday under a guru. One day the guru was explaining the following passage from the Upanishads :

“No husband is loved by his wife for his own sake but it is all for the sake of the Self …No sons are loved  by their father for their sake but it is all for the sake of the Self that the sons become dear to him.”

At that stage, Rahul intervened and said, “Sir, in my case, both my parents and my wife love me so dearly for my own sake that if I am delayed by a few minutes in reaching home they get highly "agitated" and if something happens to me they will die. The Guruji said”, You shall learn the truth of it tomorrow when you see the result of a test, I am going to hold. Before going to bed tonight you must swallow this herbal powder. As a result, you will lie as if dead tomorrow morning but you will be able to hear all that is spoken in your presence. After a few h ours when the "effect" of this medicine wears off, you will become normal and get up. You will see the fun.”

"Rahul did as instructed" and in the morning his wife and parents found him ‘dead’-lying motionless without any pulse or heartbeat. The guruji was "apprised" of the situation and he came over. They "entreated" him to bring Rahul back to life by using his divine powers. The guruji asked for a jar full of water and said, “I shall draw out all the bad destiny responsible for your son’s death into this water. One of you will have to drink this water. The one who drinks will die immediately while Rahul will be restored to life. Tell me who among you is prepared to die for him ?”

Both the parents "refused", saying, “We are old and helping each other mutually. If one dies, the other will not have anybody to help. So our drinking the water is out of question”. Rahul’s young wife also said, “I am very young and have not seen anything of this world yet. When such old people, who have seen life in its fullness, do not want to die how can you expect me to volunteer for death ?”

A "bright" idea flashed into the mind of the father who told the guruji, “Sir, you are renunciate and have no relatives to mourn your death. Why don’t you drink the water yourself ? We will conduct your funeral in a grand manner.
