Mahabharata 1.123.64 meaning
bhasam pashyasi yady-enam tatha broohi punar vachah
shirah pashyami bhasasya na gatram iti sobraveet
भासं पश्यसि यद्येनं तथा ब्रूहि पुनर्वचः।
शिरः पश्यामि भासस्य न गात्रमिति सोऽब्रवीत्॥
'If you see the bird, then tell me again what you see.' He replied, 'I see the bird's head, not its body.'
What it means
Drona tests his students: only Arjuna sees nothing but the target, the bird's head. Real focus means narrowing your attention until distractions simply disappear. That is how goals are hit.हिंदी में अर्थ
'अगर तुम्हें पक्षी दिख रहा है, तो फिर बताओ क्या दिखता है।' अर्जुन ने कहा, 'मुझे पक्षी का सिर दिखता है, उसका शरीर नहीं।'।
द्रोण की परीक्षा में केवल अर्जुन को निशाने के सिवा कुछ नहीं दिखा। सच्ची एकाग्रता का मतलब है ध्यान इतना साधना कि बाकी सब ओझल हो जाए।
