‘Information 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 discipline of labor or job, fixed apply is the important thing for fulfillment. 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 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 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 fact of medical apply. She or he is dealing with life right here. They can not go mistaken, they need to not! So, the medical coaching within the faculties, with skilled lecturers throughout internship days, and dealing in clinics and medical doctors for some years with consultants in varied fields or in a discipline the coed is all for practising is obligatory. This may give each braveness and confidence. Even after this, they need to be taught to independently apply i.e. plan and execute prescriptions and therapies beneath the steering of their masters till the masters declare one to be ‘match to exit and apply’.
This could primarily be backed up by an excellent maintain on theoretical data 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 goal if one can not diagnose or deal with a illness correctly whereas in apply. A scholar who has competitively studied for ranks and medals however has not understood the core rules of a medical system will fail in medical apply.
So, a poor abhyasa will result in non-attainment of karma siddhi. This reveals how a lot and the way often abhyasa is required. So, one ought to by no means hurry to enterprise into medical apply till and except she or he is greater than hundred % assured that they’re able to occupy that seat of duty.
So, success in medical apply doesn’t come really easy. It must be earned by means of dedication, ardour and fixed apply. Commonly 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 carried out will likely be good and yield good outcomes solely when you might have often 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 so forth. and in addition how a lot and what number of instances you might have had your palms on all the pieces attainable.
Subsequently, for karma siddhi, fixed abhyasa – revisions and common apply is most important. The doctor wants each – sufficient theoretical and sensible data, often practising and updating them to excel in medical 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 data and Abhyasa: Common apply of each by a doctor to achieve Karma Siddhi – excellence in medical apply
अभ्यासात्प्राप्यते दृष्टिः कर्मसिद्धिप्रकाशिनी।
रत्नादिसदसज्ज्ञानं न शास्त्रादेव जायते॥५६॥
Acharya Vagbhata says that good sensible data and expertise will be attained solely by means of fixed, devoted Abhyasa – apply – additionally contains revisions throughout teachers and updating the data one has already acquired.
This devoted and passionate studying, revisions and updating oneself and fixed apply of all the pieces would positively replicate the success in therapy procedures and medical apply i.e. the standing and destiny of medical 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 data adopted by devoted revisions, follow-ups and fixed apply, 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 an attractive ‘gem analogy’.
He says, ‘The data of figuring out the gems, gold and different valuable stones won’t be obtained by simply the theoretical data 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 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 medical apply solely by theoretical data nor will you attain karma siddhi, till and except you might have practiced over them consistently.
