भारतीय सभ्यता और संस्कृति महात्मा गांधी द्वारा लिखित एक निबंध है। उनका मानना था कि भारतीय सभ्यता महान है क्योंकि यह सरल जीवन और उच्च विचार सिखाती है।
यह ईश्वर में विश्वास, ईमानदारी और नैतिक मूल्यों पर आधारित है। गांधी ने कहा कि सच्ची खुशी धन या विलासिता से नहीं बल्कि एक अच्छा जीवन जीने से आती है। उन्होंने पश्चिमी संस्कृति की प्रशंसा की लेकिन इसे आँख बंद करके नकल करना पसंद नहीं किया।
उन्होंने बताया कि हमारे पूर्वज गांवों में खुशी से रहते थे और बड़े शहरों से बचते थे। भारतीय संस्कृति में कला, संगीत और साहित्य शामिल हैं, और यह अमीर या शक्तिशाली होने के बजाय दयालु और अच्छा होने पर केंद्रित है।
1. Why does the poet want to go away from his beloved?
कवि अपनी प्रियतमा से दूर क्यों जाना चाहता है?
Ans. The poet wants to go away from his beloved because he knows that death is certain. He wants to keep himself happy before death comes. He tells his beloved that this temporary separation is not as painful as the final separation that comes with death.
उत्तर: कवि अपनी प्रियतमा से दूर जाना चाहता है क्योंकि उसे पता है कि मृत्यु निश्चित है। वह मृत्यु से पहले खुद को खुश रखना चाहता है। वह अपनी प्रियतमा से कहता है कि यह अस्थायी जुदाई उतनी दर्दनाक नहीं है जितनी मृत्यु के कारण होने वाली अंतिम जुदाई।
