Q32: Consider the following statements regarding the dissolution of earthly divisions in Jainulabdeens philosophy:

2. He taught that through prayer, a person transcends their physical body to become a functional part of this cosmos.
3. In this cosmic state, all earthly, socially constructed divisions of wealth, age, caste, and creed are completely dissolved.
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
✅ Correct Answer: D
🎯 Quick Answer:
All statements are correct. Prayer leads to a cosmic state where earthly divisions dissolve.Structural Breakdown: The philosophy presents an action (prayer), a transition (transcending the body into the cosmos), and a resulting condition (the absolute irrelevance of wealth, age, caste, and creed). Historical/Related Context: This teaching is profoundly significant given the highly stratified nature of Indian society regarding caste and religion during Kalams youth.
Jainulabdeens philosophy offered a radically egalitarian spiritual vision.
Causal Reasoning: All statements are factually accurate to the text.
Kalam quotes his father directly: "...you transcend your body and become a part of the cosmos, which knows no wealth, age, caste, or creed."
