SECTION A: READING COMPREHENSION

1.Read the following passage carefully:
Key of Success
The true essence of Yoga revolves around elevating the life force or ‘Kundalini’ at the base of the spine. It aims
to achieve this through a series of physical and mental exercises. At the physical level, the methods comprise
various yoga postures or ‘asanas’ that aim to keep the body healthy. The mental techniques include breathing
exercises or ‘pranayama’ and meditation or ‘dhyana’ to discipline the mind.The ultimate goal of yoga is,
however, to help the individual to transcend the self and attain enlightenment. As the Bhagavad-Gita says, “A
person is said to have achieved yoga, the union with the Self, when the perfectly disciplined mind gets freedom
from all desires, and becomes absorbed in the Self alone.” Yoga is not a religion; it is a way of living whose
aim is ‘a healthy mind in a healthy body’. Man is a physical, mental and spiritual being; yoga helps promote a
balanced development of all the three. Other forms of physical exercises, like aerobics, assure only physical
well-being. They have little to do with the development of the spiritual or astral body. Yogic exercises recharge
the body with cosmic energy. This facilitates attainment of perfect equilibrium and harmony ,promotes self-
healing, removes negative blocks from the mind and toxins from the body ,enhances personal power,
increases self-awareness, helps in attention focus and concentration, especially important for children, reduces
stress and tension in the physical body by activating the parasympathetic nervous system. The art of practicing
yoga helps in controlling an individual mind, body and soul. It brings together physical and mental discipline to
achieve a peaceful body and mind, it helps to manage stress and anxiety and keep you relaxing. It also helps
in increasing flexibility, muscle strength and body tone. It improves respiration, energy and vitality. Practicing
yoga might seem like just stretching, but it can do much more for your body from the way you feel, look and
move.

a) What is the ultimate goal of Yoga?
