same question, Arjuna raises
his bow, streches it, takes
a deep breath and answers
“Guruji, I see the Birds eye”
Everyone is surprised to hear
this answer.
Dronacharya further questions
him, “What else do you see
son?”
Arjuna replies “ I see just the
eye Guruji, and nothing else”
Dronacharya feels proud and
approves of the answer and
and asks him to fire. In a flash
of a second, the wooden bird
falls down from the tree with
an arrow pierced in its eye.
He explains everyone that
they should only set their eyes

on what their goal is and
nothing else. Every other
prince had set their eyes on
everything else too, that is a
reason why there were fewer
chances of them succeeding
and more chances of getting
distracted.
Arjuna’s answer is reflective
of the fact that he has a
clear goal and the ability to
concentrate his energies on
the target and nothing else.
This story teaches us
that that we should make
ourselves capable to
separate our goals away
from the distractions of life.
Always set your eyes on
the goal and let everything
else fade away into oblivion.
Arjuna was able to ignore
the presence of the tree
branches and leaves and
only saw what is master
asked him to achieve.
Everything else are only
distractions which will
always be in your life to pull
you away from your target.
This simple attribute with set
you apart from the crowd
and make you special like
Arjuna among the other
princes.
