A. Following ahimsa
B. Austerity of Nirvana
C. The world is full of sorrow
D. Speak of truth

Answer: The world is full of sorrow

Option c is the correct answer. Both Buddha and Mirabai shared a common belief in the concept of suffering or sorrow (known as "dukkha" in Buddhism). They believed that the only way to find true happiness was to transcend the world and its attachments. They taught that the way to do this was through meditation, devotion, and selfless service. Buddha, as the founder of Buddhism, identified suffering as one of the fundamental truths of existence. He taught that life is characterized by suffering, which arises from desire and attachment. The path to liberation (Nirvana) involves overcoming suffering by following the Eightfold Path and transcending the cycle of birth and rebirth (samsara). Similarly, Mirabai, a prominent Bhakti saint in India, expressed the theme of sorrow and longing for the divine in her devotional poetry and songs. Her love for Lord Krishna and her quest for union with the divine were often depicted through themes of separation, yearning, and the recognition of the transient nature of worldly existence .
