Tell me what you can see, Arjuna,’ repeated Drona ‘Do you see the tree?’
‘No,’ said Arjuna.
‘Do you then see the bird?’ There was a sense of rising excitement in Drona’s voice.
‘No! I can simply see the eye of the bird, nothing else,’ responded Arjuna without taking his eyes off the target.
‘Now, shoot!’ Drona commanded in a shrill voice.
Everyone who stood there saw Arjuna’s arrow whizz past and heard a sharp click. The arrow was stuck in the middle of the bird’s eye.
That day, a legend was born. Arjuna was declared a shreshtha, a supreme human talent. Arjuna’s most powerful weapon was not his Gandiva. His power came from ekagrata—his one-pointed concentration.
Arjuna re-defined the limits of human achievement. He conquered his enemies with the sword of clarity and the shield of discrimination.
