‘Data is a GEM, you don’t discover it till you discover and seek for it’ – Acharya Vagbhata
Abhyasa = fixed apply
Karma = motion, ‘therapies’ on this context
Siddhi = success
In any subject of labor or job, fixed apply is the important thing for achievement. They’re two sides of the identical coin they usually have a sort of inseparable relationship. All our actions in direction of attaining one thing will finish on a fruitful and rewarding level once we would have always practiced to succeed in that time of end whereby glory is ready for us. Perhaps in different fields, one wants to do that always, however in medical apply, solely that a lot shouldn’t be sufficient.
The true acid take a look at for a doctor begins when he comes open and is uncovered to the truth of medical apply. She or he is dealing with life right here. They can not go unsuitable, they need to not! So, the medical coaching within the schools, with skilled lecturers throughout internship days, and dealing in clinics and medical doctors for some years with specialists in varied fields or in a subject the scholar is concerned with training is necessary. It will give each braveness and confidence. Even after this, they need to study to independently apply i.e. plan and execute prescriptions and therapies underneath the steering of their masters till the masters declare one to be ‘match to exit and apply’.
This could basically be backed up by an excellent maintain on theoretical information that she or he has gained from their devoted research throughout pupil life.
A certification of completion of research in a medical science or a better diploma of specialization in a selected topic or dealing with a illness or a gold medal as a proof of excellence won’t serve any function if one can not diagnose or deal with a illness correctly whereas in apply. A pupil who has competitively studied for ranks and medals however has not understood the core ideas of a medical system will fail in scientific apply.
So, a poor abhyasa will result in non-attainment of karma siddhi. This exhibits how a lot and the way commonly abhyasa is required. So, one ought to by no means hurry to enterprise into scientific apply till and until she or he is greater than hundred % assured that they’re able to occupy that seat of accountability.
So, success in scientific apply doesn’t come really easy. It must be earned by means of dedication, ardour and fixed apply. Frequently doing the identical issues will result in perfection. Fixed apply is relevant for each research and sensible expertise. Your prescription for amavata, your measure of snehana, your methodology of administering enema or the suture that you’ve got carried out shall be good and yield good outcomes solely when you may have commonly studied and practiced them.
This calls for your consideration in school rooms, in scientific coaching, time spent with specialists within the hospitals, in and out affected person departments, operation theatres, herb gardens, pharmacies and many others. and likewise how a lot and what number of instances you may have had your fingers on all the pieces attainable.
Due to this fact, for karma siddhi, fixed abhyasa – revisions and common apply is most important. The doctor wants each – ample theoretical and sensible information, commonly training and updating them to excel in scientific apply.
Now allow us to see what Grasp Vagbhata has to speak about this.
Ref – Ashtanga Hrdaya, Sutra Sthana, Chapter 12, verse 56 (A.Hr.Su.12/56)
Want of each theoretical and sensible information and Abhyasa: Common apply of each by a doctor to realize Karma Siddhi – excellence in scientific apply
अभ्यासात्प्राप्यते दृष्टिः कर्मसिद्धिप्रकाशिनी।
रत्नादिसदसज्ज्ञानं न शास्त्रादेव जायते॥५६॥
Acharya Vagbhata says that good sensible information and expertise may be attained solely by means of fixed, devoted Abhyasa – apply – additionally contains revisions throughout teachers and updating the information one has already acquired.
This devoted and passionate studying, revisions and updating oneself and fixed apply of all the pieces would undoubtedly replicate the success in remedy procedures and scientific apply i.e. the standing and destiny of scientific apply which the doctor would take pleasure in, within the coming days of his life. If the preliminary issues are checked i.e. good theoretical and sensible information adopted by devoted revisions, follow-ups and fixed apply, the karma siddhi i.e. success in scientific actions shall be fruitful, else the individual would miserably fail.
Acharya Vagbhata explains this with a stupendous ‘gem analogy’.
He says, ‘The information of figuring out the gems, gold and different treasured stones won’t be obtained by simply the theoretical information i.e. solely learning intensively about all of the gems on the earth i.e. one must also have a apply of dealing with the gems and treasured stones to inform which is a real one and which not!’.
The identical rule is relevant for studying sciences additionally. You’ll not obtain mastery in scientific apply solely by theoretical information nor will you attain karma siddhi, till and until you may have practiced over them always.
