Read the following passage and answer the questions given below it :<br><br> Freedom has assuredly given us a new status and new opportunities. But it is also implied that we should discard selfishness, laziness and all narrowness of outlook. Our freedom suggests toil and the creation of new values for old ones. We should so discipline ourselves as to be able to discharge our new responsibilities satisfactorily. If there is any one thing that needs to be stressed more than any other in the new set­up, it is that we should put into action our full capacity, each one of us, in productive effort; each one of us in his own sphere, however humble work, unceasing work, should now be our watch word. Work is wealth and service is happiness; nothing else is. The greatest crime in India today is idleness. If we root out idleness, all our difficulties including even conflicts will gradually disappear. Whether a constable or a high official of the state, whether as businessman or industrialist, artisan or farmer or peasant each one should discharge his obligation to the state and make a contribution to the welfare of the country. Honest work is the sheet ­ anchor to which we should cling if we want to be saved form danger or difficulty. It is the fundamental law of progress.
