‘Data is a GEM, you don’t discover it till you discover and seek for it’ – Acharya Vagbhata
Abhyasa = fixed follow
Karma = motion, ‘remedies’ on this context
Siddhi = success
In any discipline of labor or job, fixed follow is the important thing for fulfillment. They’re two sides of the identical coin they usually have a type of inseparable relationship. All our actions in direction of reaching one thing will finish on a fruitful and rewarding level once we would have consistently practiced to succeed in that time of end whereby glory is ready for us. Possibly in different fields, one wants to do that consistently, however in medical follow, solely that a lot isn’t sufficient.
The actual acid check for a doctor begins when he comes open and is uncovered to the fact of medical follow. 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 academics throughout internship days, and dealing in clinics and docs for some years with consultants in numerous fields or in a discipline the coed is thinking about practising is obligatory. This may give each braveness and confidence. Even after this, they need to study to independently follow i.e. plan and execute prescriptions and therapies underneath the steerage of their masters till the masters declare one to be ‘match to exit and follow’.
This could primarily be backed up by an excellent maintain on theoretical information that she or he has gained from their devoted research throughout scholar life.
A certification of completion of research in a medical science or the next diploma of specialization in a specific topic or dealing with a illness or a gold medal as a proof of excellence won’t serve any objective if one can’t diagnose or deal with a illness correctly whereas in follow. A scholar who has competitively studied for ranks and medals however has not understood the core ideas of a medical system will fail in scientific follow.
So, a poor abhyasa will result in non-attainment of karma siddhi. This exhibits how a lot and the way repeatedly abhyasa is required. So, one ought to by no means hurry to enterprise into scientific follow 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 follow doesn’t come really easy. It must be earned by means of dedication, ardour and fixed follow. Usually doing the identical issues will result in perfection. Fixed follow 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 carried out will likely be excellent and yield good outcomes solely when you might have repeatedly 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 so forth. and likewise how a lot and what number of instances you might have had your fingers on all the things attainable.
Subsequently, for karma siddhi, fixed abhyasa – revisions and common follow is most important. The doctor wants each – ample theoretical and sensible information, repeatedly practising and updating them to excel in scientific follow.
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 follow of each by a doctor to realize Karma Siddhi – excellence in scientific follow
अभ्यासात्प्राप्यते दृष्टिः कर्मसिद्धिप्रकाशिनी।
रत्नादिसदसज्ज्ञानं न शास्त्रादेव जायते॥५६॥
Acharya Vagbhata says that good sensible information and expertise will be attained solely by means of fixed, devoted Abhyasa – follow – additionally contains revisions throughout lecturers and updating the information one has already acquired.
This devoted and passionate studying, revisions and updating oneself and fixed follow of all the things would positively mirror the success in therapy procedures and scientific follow i.e. the standing and destiny of scientific follow which the doctor would bask 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 follow, the karma siddhi i.e. success in scientific actions will likely be fruitful, else the particular person would miserably fail.
Acharya Vagbhata explains this with a lovely ‘gem analogy’.
He says, ‘The information of figuring out the gems, gold and different valuable stones won’t be obtained by simply the theoretical information i.e. solely finding out intensively about all of the gems on the planet i.e. one must also have a follow of dealing with the gems and valuable 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 follow solely by theoretical information nor will you attain karma siddhi, till and until you might have practiced over them consistently.
