    Be An Arrow of Attention By: K M Gupta
     
    When the Kurukshetra war was all set to begin, Krishna converts interspace
    into a classroom. To set Arjuna to proper action, Krishna has to put him on
    the right approach that comes from right attitude which in turn comes from
    proper understanding and that, from proper knowledge. So midfield has to
    turn into a classroom.
     
    Life is a classroom and you never cease to be a student. The moment you
    cease to be a student you become deadwood. So the first lesson for all
    students of life is how to be a good student. And that is the first lesson
    to be taught to all students from Kindergarten.
     
    How can a student be a good or even best student? Look at the
    knowledge-understanding-attitude-approach chain. Knowledge comes first.
    Gaining knowledge is the primary aim of education. Knowledge metamorphoses
    into wisdom in the form of understanding-attitude-approach. So go get
    knowledge first.
     
    But knowledge doesn’t favour all. It comes only to those who have curiosity
    which is the mother of knowledge. It is the greatest virtue. What do all
    science, discovery and invention owe their origin to? Curiosity. What made
    Albert Einstein the greatest of all scientists? Curiosity. Those without
    curiosity are ‘knowledge-challenged’. So cultivate curiosity, for curiosity
    cultivates knowledge.
     
    I have one thing in common with Isaac Asimov, the renowned science fiction
    writer. He said, “My father taught me all that I have today. How? He taught
    me curiosity, and with that I learned all I have.” Once the Head Teacher of
    my son’s school summoned me and gave me a dressing down: “Your son has
    fared awfully badly in maths this time!” I taught my son maths at home. Not
    for long, only for a short while. Next time he became topper and also,
    maths became his first love. What was the magic? I taught him maths. But
    not just maths but curiosity as well, which I learned from my father.
     
    In the present system of education students can’t expect curiosity to be
    taught. So students must teach themselves curiosity. Don’t just cram
    lessons. Cultivate curiosity towards what you learn. Anything can be the
    subject of your curiousity — grammar, maths, even morals. Convert
    everything into curiosity. What is it about? What is it for? How does it
    work? How does it fit in with life? If you have curiosity, nothing is dull
    or tough. Mathematics is usually the bête-noir for average students. But
    mathematics is the most interesting of all subjects in the world — if only
    you are curious. If you are dull in mathematics, it means your teacher has
    failed in cultivating curiosity in you. Don’t wait for the teacher. Teach
    yourself curiosity. Start looking at things with curious eyes. Sit for a
    while in the class of the greatest of all teachers of all times and listen:
    ‘Shraddhavan labhate jnanam.’
     
    Attention is the sharp edge of curiosity. In the Upanishad the guru tells
    his student, ‘sharavat thanmayo bhavet’ — be like an arrow set on its aim.
    To be an arrow set on its aim, you should have no diversions. And to have
    no diversions you should have your senses in control. So Krishana adds:
    ‘Tatparah samyatendriyah.’ Have no diversions and have your senses in
    control. Curiosity can lead to bad things also. So Krishna asks you to know
    what is day and what is night, in which to wake up and in which to sleep,
    when to open your eyes at and when to shut them. The Gita is a guide on how
    to be an Arrow of Attention.
