Chapter 1 Three Questions Solutions

Question - 11 : -
What were the hermit’s answers to the three questions? Write each answer separately. Which answer do you like most, and why?

Answer - 11 : -

In answer to the first question, the hermit said that there is only one time that is important and that time is ‘Now’. It is the only time when one has any power to act.

The hermit answered the second question by saying that the most necessary person is the person you are with at a particular moment. This is because no one knows what will happen in the future and whether we will meet anyone else.

The hermit’s response to the third question was that the most important thing is to do good for the person one is with. This is because all are sent into this world for that purpose alone.

All the answers are linked to each other and have their own significance.
