Correct 0/6

Incorrect 0/6

Question 1

What does Krishna identify as the threefold designation of Brahman in verse 17.23?

A Om Tat Sat, the sacred threefold expression connected with Brahman, the Vedas, seekers, and Yajna. B Kama Krodha Lobha, the three gates that should be kept open for spiritual growth. C Sattva Rajas Tamas, the three words used to begin every prescribed act. D Yajna Tapas Dana, the three sounds that replace faith in sacred action.

Question 2

How is Om used in verse 17.24?

A Seekers of Brahman begin prescribed acts of Yajna, charity, and tapas with Om. B Om is used to excuse action that ignores scripture, faith, and discipline. C Om is used only after an action is finished and only if the result is successful. D Om means that no action, offering, or discipline should ever be performed.

Question 3

What does Tat emphasize in verse 17.25?

A Seekers of liberation perform Yajna, tapas, and charity without attachment to personal reward. B Seekers should perform charity only when it gives them recognition and future return. C Seekers should abandon Yajna and tapas because renunciation means doing nothing. D Seekers should use sacred words to make selfish motives spiritually acceptable.

Question 4

How do verses 17.26-17.27 explain Sat?

A Sat means reality, goodness, and worthy action; steadfastness in Yajna, tapas, and charity, and action done for the Divine, are also called Sat. B Sat means any action done loudly in public, even if it lacks goodness, steadiness, or faith. C Sat means action performed only for personal reward and social honor. D Sat means that Yajna, tapas, and charity no longer need truth or goodness.

Question 5

What warning does Krishna give about actions done without faith in verse 17.28?

A Sacrifice, charity, tapas, or any action done without faith is called Asat and has no value here or hereafter. B Actions without faith become more powerful because they are free from all inner commitment. C Faith matters only for charity; Yajna, tapas, and other actions work without it. D Asat means a hidden form of Sat that gives greater fruit than faithful action.

Question 6

How does Om Tat Sat complete Chapter 17’s teaching on faith and practice?

A It gives sacred orientation to action: begin in Brahman, renounce personal claim, remain rooted in truth and goodness, and avoid empty action without faith. B It says sacred words replace sincerity, so motive and faith no longer matter. C It rejects Yajna, tapas, and charity after explaining their sattvik forms. D It teaches that outward sound is enough even when the action is careless, selfish, or faithless.
