‘Information is a GEM, you don’t discover it till you discover and seek for it’ – Acharya Vagbhata
Abhyasa = fixed observe
Karma = motion, ‘remedies’ on this context
Siddhi = success
In any discipline of labor or job, fixed observe is the important thing for achievement. They’re two sides of the identical coin and so they 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 continually practiced to succeed in that time of end whereby glory is ready for us. Possibly in different fields, one wants to do that continually, however in medical observe, solely that a lot is just not sufficient.
The actual acid take a look at for a doctor begins when he comes open and is uncovered to the fact of medical observe. She or he is dealing with life right here. They can’t go mistaken, they need to not! So, the medical coaching within the schools, with skilled lecturers throughout internship days, and dealing in clinics and docs for some years with consultants in varied fields or in a discipline the scholar is eager about training is necessary. This may give each braveness and confidence. Even after this, they need to be taught to independently observe 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 observe’.
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 the next 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 objective if one can not diagnose or deal with a illness correctly whereas in observe. A pupil who has competitively studied for ranks and medals however has not understood the core rules of a medical system will fail in scientific observe.
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 observe till and except she or he is greater than hundred % assured that they’re able to occupy that seat of duty.
So, success in scientific observe doesn’t come really easy. It ought to be earned by means of dedication, ardour and fixed observe. Frequently doing the identical issues will result in perfection. Fixed observe is relevant for each research and sensible expertise. Your prescription for amavata, your measure of snehana, your technique of administering enema or the suture that you’ve got executed shall be good and yield good outcomes solely when you could have commonly studied and practiced them.
This calls for your consideration in school rooms, in scientific coaching, time spent with consultants 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 occasions you could have had your palms on every thing potential.
Subsequently, for karma siddhi, fixed abhyasa – revisions and common observe is most important. The doctor wants each – enough theoretical and sensible information, commonly training and updating them to excel in scientific observe.
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 observe of each by a doctor to realize Karma Siddhi – excellence in scientific observe
अभ्यासात्प्राप्यते दृष्टिः कर्मसिद्धिप्रकाशिनी।
रत्नादिसदसज्ज्ञानं न शास्त्रादेव जायते॥५६॥
Acharya Vagbhata says that good sensible information and expertise might be attained solely by means of fixed, devoted Abhyasa – observe – additionally contains revisions throughout teachers and updating the information one has already acquired.
This devoted and passionate studying, revisions and updating oneself and fixed observe of every thing would positively mirror the success in remedy procedures and scientific observe i.e. the standing and destiny of scientific observe 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 observe, the karma siddhi i.e. success in scientific actions shall be fruitful, else the individual would miserably fail.
Acharya Vagbhata explains this with a good looking ‘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 finding out intensively about all of the gems on the earth i.e. one also needs to have a observe 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 observe solely by theoretical information nor will you attain karma siddhi, till and except you could have practiced over them continually.
