Chhattisgarh P.C.S. (Pre) 2017

A. Buddha
B. Jaina
C. Charvaka
D. Nyaya
E. None of these

Answer: Buddha

Option a is the correct answer. The Buddha's teaching of impermanence is often referred to as the doctrine of momentariness. This is because the Buddha taught that the five aggregates(form, feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness) are all momentary. This means that they are constantly arising and passing away. There is no permanent self or soul that is made up of these aggregates. 96. Solution: (c) Exp) Option c is the correct answer. According to Charvaka, the highest value or goal of life is pleasure (kama), and the only evil is pain. Charvaka was a school of Indian materialism that rejected any supernatural or metaphysical concepts, such as dharma, artha, moksha, or bhakti. Charvaka believed that only what can be perceived by the senses is real, and that everything else is either false or uncertain. Charvaka advocated a hedonistic and pragmatic way of life, and urged people to enjoy the pleasures of the world without fear or guilt.
