The Bird's Eye

The Students stood in rapt attention, eyes fixed on the target, in descending order of their years of training. They stood in a line. The target was a small bird atop the thick branches of a faraway tree. The Master, the Great Archer, walked to the first student and stood looking at him. The boy respectfully lowered his bow and saluted the Master, as behove an obedient student.
The Master slowly walked to the next student. This time he gently asked the young Boy,
"Son, What do are you looking at?"
The student replied, "O Great One, I am aiming at the bird."
"What else do you see?"
"I see the the branches, the leaves and the fruits."
"Anything else?"
"Yes Sire! I can see the azure sky."
"Very well."

The Master walked on. He stopped beside each student and asked the same question. He received different variations of the same answer. The Master walked on, searching, slightly perturbed.
At last he reached the last student, the Young One. He stood for a few minutes and gently repeated his question. The Young One seemed not to have heard the Master. He stood, eyes unmoved from the target. The Master repeated his question again. The Young One blurted out, as though it was the greatest strain to answer, "I see the Bird's Eye."
"Anything else?"
The student replied as though unable to understand the question, " I see the Bird's Eye."
"Shoot!", commanded the Master.

The arrow hit the Target.

(adapted from The Mahabaratha, in my own words)

Take up one Idea
Make that One Idea your Life
Think of it, Dream of it, Live on that Idea
Let the Brain, Muscles, Nerves
And every part of your body
Be full of that Idea
And just leave every other Idea alone.
This is the Way To Sucess.
