Question

The original-language term, its word forms, or its English translation are acceptable. Chapter 14 of the Bhagavad Gita states that this concept, unlike its counterparts, is “purer” but causes “bondage” through attachment to happiness and knowledge. The Vedānta tradition emphasizes the Upanishads’ use of a term to describe Brahman that pairs this concept with chit, or consciousness, and ānanda (“AH-nun-duh”), or bliss. India’s national motto (10[1])comes from the Mundaka Upanishad’s line that this concept (10[2])“alone (10[1])triumphs.” (10[4])Along (10[1])with (10[2])rajas (-5[2])(“RUH-juhs”) and (10[1])tamas (10[1])(“TUH-muhs”), this concept names (10[1]-5[1])one of the gunas that is the basis (10[1])of an Ayurvedic (10[1]-5[1])vegetarian diet. (10[1])A grouping of this concept includes samudaya and nirodha, or “cessation.” This concept names a method of non-violence (-5[2])developed by (-5[1])Mahatma Gandhi (10[3]-5[1])that (-5[1])pairs (-5[2])it with its “force,” or graha. (10[3])For 10 points, (10[1])in Buddhism, dukkha (10[1])belongs to a group of “four noble” (10[3])examples (10[2])of what concept? ■END■ (10[11])

ANSWER: sat [accept satya; accept sattva or sattvic; accept truth or essence or the absolute; accept sincerity; accept satyagraha; accept Four Noble Truths or cat varyarya satyani; accept “Truth alone triumphs” or “Satyameva Jayate”; accept satchitananda]
