How did deer run to ekalavya
Answers
Answer:
Ekalavya was the victim of Dronacharya's own mission in life to produce the greatest archer( धनुर्धारी ) ever. Drona displayed his expertise and acquired the tutorship of the royal Pandava and Kaurava princes, after training them for a long time (all the time picking his favourites in different martial/princely arts) he must have been really shocked one day to see a hunting dog silenced by having his mouth filled with arrows which hadn't hurt the dog. This sort of archery required not just mastery of the bow and arrow, but also a sort of talent reminiscent of true genius. His first fear was that there was a greater archer than his proteges could ever hope to be and he was humbled and distraught while he tried to trace back the archer.When he saw the shooter was a mere boy of the jungle, he felt relief as well as biting self-doubt because this meant that there was a far greater teacher than he, who could teach this uncouth, "undeserving"(in his head) lad how to handle his bow so well! He was soon engulfed in jealousy and wanted to find out who this person was. When Ekalavya told him that all his art comes from devout practice in front of an effigy of Drona, in Drona's mind, this made him redundant, because if any common lad could teach himself so well, by just imagining that he was being personally groomed by the "rajguru", then perhaps the whole institution of guru-shishya tradition could be questioned (maybe even by this young lad, when he grows up to be a fearsome warrior and loses his innocence to see the world as it is).
Make no mistake, Drona was wise, but he was too attached to the world, unlike sages and rajgurus are supposed to be. Instead of rejoicing in Ekalavya's achievement and commending him, or even just leave him alone, he became scared for his position and decided to use his wit to somehow righteously stop this boy from maturing into a great warrior/archer. A true guru will not seek to destroy a student like this, but Drona paid no attention to this and yet he called for his gurudakshina, which Ekalavya lost his thumb to pay.
Mahabharata abounds in such stories where there is debate on both sides of the issue - where the right action/path is not clear, where everyone is prone to making mistakes of passion, worldliness (even Krishna is not exempt from this, even though he is referred to as an incarnation of God). We should not read the mahabharata like an instructive text but rather as an instrument for broadening our mind and looking at things from multiple perspectives - because there is no Right or Wrong - only This(what I believe is correct) and That(what you believe to be correct).
