Passage 1

In English

The and the , which are the most precious jewels of India, are like vast oceans. If we look at these oceans from one side, we will have only a limited view; but if we climb up a hill and have a look at them, we get a fuller view and a better understanding of them. What we have to do is to delve into them and try to explore and understand the treasures contained in these big oceans. The and the are very sacred books, which will directly tell us about many things, especially the ways in which we have to conduct ourselves. The and the will help us in our daily life, like our two eyes. We are not able to know the true value of these jewels, and we think that the is all about a battle between the sons of two brothers, and that the is a story wherein a demon stole the wife of and won her back. It is not like that. These two epics are like the heart and the head of India, and are as vital to India as the heart and the head are to a human body.
