‘Information is a GEM, you don’t discover it till you discover and seek for it’ – Acharya Vagbhata
Abhyasa = fixed follow
Karma = motion, ‘therapies’ on this context
Siddhi = success
In any discipline of labor or job, fixed follow is the important thing for achievement. They’re two sides of the identical coin and so they have a type of inseparable relationship. All our actions in the 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 follow, solely that a lot just isn’t sufficient.
The actual acid check for a doctor begins when he comes open and is uncovered to the truth 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 medical doctors for some years with consultants in varied fields or in a discipline the scholar is thinking about working towards is necessary. It will give each braveness and confidence. Even after this, they need to be taught 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 data 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 is not going to serve any objective if one can not diagnose or deal with a illness correctly whereas in follow. A pupil who has competitively studied for ranks and medals however has not understood the core ideas of a medical system will fail in medical follow.
So, a poor abhyasa will result in non-attainment of karma siddhi. This reveals how a lot and the way recurrently abhyasa is required. So, one ought to by no means hurry to enterprise into medical follow till and except she or he is greater than hundred % assured that they’re able to occupy that seat of accountability.
So, success in medical follow doesn’t come really easy. It needs to be earned via 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 got achieved will likely be excellent and yield good outcomes solely when you might have recurrently studied and practiced them.
This calls for your consideration in school rooms, in medical coaching, time spent with consultants within the hospitals, in and out affected person departments, operation theatres, herb gardens, pharmacies and many others. and in addition how a lot and what number of instances you might have had your palms on the whole lot potential.
Subsequently, for karma siddhi, fixed abhyasa – revisions and common follow is most important. The doctor wants each – sufficient theoretical and sensible data, recurrently working towards and updating them to excel in medical 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 data and Abhyasa: Common follow of each by a doctor to achieve Karma Siddhi – excellence in medical follow
अभ्यासात्प्राप्यते दृष्टिः कर्मसिद्धिप्रकाशिनी।
रत्नादिसदसज्ज्ञानं न शास्त्रादेव जायते॥५६॥
Acharya Vagbhata says that good sensible data and expertise might be attained solely via fixed, devoted Abhyasa – follow – additionally contains revisions throughout lecturers and updating the data one has already acquired.
This devoted and passionate studying, revisions and updating oneself and fixed follow of the whole lot would positively replicate the success in therapy procedures and medical follow i.e. the standing and destiny of medical 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 data adopted by devoted revisions, follow-ups and fixed follow, the karma siddhi i.e. success in medical actions will likely be fruitful, else the particular person would miserably fail.
Acharya Vagbhata explains this with a good looking ‘gem analogy’.
He says, ‘The data of figuring out the gems, gold and different treasured stones is not going to be obtained by simply the theoretical data i.e. solely learning intensively about all of the gems on the planet i.e. one also needs to have a follow 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 medical follow solely by theoretical data nor will you attain karma siddhi, till and except you might have practiced over them always.
