How did Kalam’s father influence Kalam’s perception and interpretation of divine power? How, according to Abdul Kalam, can an individual achieve freedom, happiness and peace of mind ? Class 12 | English (Strong Roots) 6 Marks

Ans:

In the prose piece ‘Strong Roots’ extracted from Kalam’s autobiography Wings of Fire’, we see how Kalam’s father’s innate wisdom and practical teachings played a pivotal role in shaping Kalam’s life. Kalam had himself said that he had tried to emulate his father in his own world of science and technology. The belief in the existence of a divine power grew in Kalam through his father’s philosophical teachings, the revelation of the fundamental truths about life and the universe. Jainulabdeen’s ideologies and spiritual notions helped Kalam to overcome confusion, misery, melancholy, failure and guided him to his true place. Thus Kalam’s father influenced Kalam’s perception and interpretation of divine power. It helped Kalam to prosper in life.

According to Abdul Kalam, an individual can achieve freedom, happiness and peace of mind only if he/she detaches himself/herself from emotional and physical bond.
