Directions: Read the passage given below and answer the questions (33-37) that follow with the help of given options: The body should function rightly, perfectly. It is an art, it is not austerity; you are not to fight with it, you are simply to understand it. And the body is so wise, and wiser than your mind, remember, because the body has existed longer than the mind. The mind is a very new arrival, just a child. The body is very ancient, because you moved once as a rock; the body was there, the mind was fast asleep. Then you became a tree; the body was there, with all its greenery and flowers. The mind was fast asleep still, not so asleep as in the rock but still asleep. You became an animal, a tiger, the body was so alive with energy, but the mind was not functioning. You became a bird, you became a man. The body has been functioning for millions of years. The body has accumulated much wisdom, the body is the wise. So if you eat too much, the body says, 'Stop!' The mind is not so wise. The mind says, "The taste is beautiful-a little more.' And if you listen to the mind, then the mind becomes destructive to the body, this way or that. If you listen to the mind, first it will say. Go on eating,' because mind is foolish, a child. He does not know what he is saying. He is a new arrival, he has no leaning tohim. He is not wise, he is yet a food. Listen to the body. When the body says, 'Hungry', eat. When the body says, "Stop,' stop. ..........
