Of Studies -  Francis Bacon

Summary

Bacon points out that it is study that depicts over enjoyed moment, attraction and capabilities. Complete study provides enjoyment. It clarifies the conversation. It helps the practical activities. It gives a type of enlightment to an ignorant man who is deprived of. It is capable to work with success. If any person goes to the books and makes them his friend, he will find that books are the supporters to produce fulfilment in resolution. Bacon here wants if it should not be taken much time in reading, it will be much better, because he says if it is so, it will be ruin of time. Studies should not also be used for attraction as it may begins to be affection and if any one goes do judge anything by one's ability, it will be humour of one's study. It is not demanded. Depending too much on it, the practical necessity ends.

He further says that clever men hate studies because they think their cleverness can well mend their problems than bookish knowledge. Ignorants and illiterates are always in the position to applause the learned people why is it so ? Because they are not painted with study. On the other hand a wity person makes full use of study. The writer justifes that the object of studies is not to reject or condemn the views given in the books. One may differ with them one may not agree readily it. What one reads. One should not refuse the argument of others. One should not cling to one's opinion rather than keeping an open mind. One should neither be a fanatic in views nor a blind follower in beliefs. Here is a very crucial point that the author in a scholar's life.

The writer here wants to give a very important matter by saying that there are some books that are to be read with bird's eye, others are to be read totally and some are to be read for ever, it means the books which are being read, should not be forgotten in earlier time.

Bacons deals with the models of study. He says, reading enables us to acquire the knowledge. It gives us information. Discourse of conference provides us ready witness. He also tells us that the disturbed kidneys and disbalanced archery can be cured by shooting. He once again points out that disturbed and disbalanced can be improved by the studying of cases of lawyers. By studying the case a man can produce wit and understand the matter.

हिन्दी सारांश

बेकन कहते है कि यह अध्ययन ही है जो हमारे हर्ष, आकर्षण व क्षमताओं पर प्रकाश डालता है। पूर्ण अध्ययन आनन्द प्रदान करता है। इससे हमारी व्यावहारिक गतिविधियाँ भी क्रियान्वित होती है। यह अज्ञानी पुरुष के लिए एक प्रकार का आनन्द है। इससे कार्य सफल होता है। यदि कोई भी किताबो को अपना मित्र बनाता है तो वह यह पायेगा कि किताबें उसके आनन्द प्राप्ति की समर्थक है। बेकन चाहते हैं कि पढाई करने में अधिक समय न इस्तेमाल किया जाये क्योंकि इससे तो समय की बर्बादी है।

अध्ययन को दिखावा व आकर्षण का माध्यम नहीं बनाना चाहिए। यदि कोई भी किसी की योग्यता को परखेगा तो यह उसका मजाक होगा। यह कदापि नहीं होना चाहिए। इस पर अधिक निर्भर रहने से व्यावहारिक आवश्यकताएँ समाप्त हो जाती है।

वह कहते हैं कि चालाक व्यक्ति अध्ययन से घृणा करते हैं क्योंकि वे सोचते हैं कि उनकी चतुराई उनकी समस्याओं को अच्छी तरह से सुधार सकती है। अज्ञान और अनपढ़ लोग उनकी कुशलता की प्रशंसा करते रहते हैं। क्योंकि वे अध्ययन से अनभिज्ञ होते हैं। वह आगे स्पष्ट करते हैं कि अध्ययन का उद्देश्य यह नहीं कि किसी को अस्वीकार किया जाये या किसी की आलोचना की जाये। कोई भी उनसे भिन्न हो सकता है। कोई भी उनकी पढ़ाई से सहमत न हो। किसी को किसी तर्क को इन्कार नहीं करना चाहिए। न ही किसी के तर्क को छोड़ना चाहिए और न ही किसी के विचार को आँख बन्द करके मानना चाहिए। वह चाहते हैं कि ऐसे मामलों में अधिक से अधिक ध्यान देना चाहिए कि कुछ किताबों को सरसरी नजर से पढ़ना होता है और कुछ को पूर्ण रूप से पढ़ना तथा कुछ को सदा के लिए पढना होता है। इसका मतलब यह है कि किताबें जो पढ़ी जाती है उनको शीघ्र नहीं भुलाना चाहिए।

बेकन अध्ययन के स्वरूप को लेकर कहते हैं कि अध्ययन हमें ज्ञान प्राप्त करने के योग्य बनाता हैं। साथ ही साथ हमें सूचना तथा ज्ञान प्राप्त कराता है। वह यह भी कहते हैं कि अशान्त वृक्क तथा असन्तुलित धमनियाँ निशानेबाजी से ठीक हो सकते हैं। वह एक बार फिर कहते है कि ये दोनों ही अध्ययन से ठीक हो सकते हैं। अध्ययन के द्वारा व्यक्ति अपने अन्दर योग्यता तथा चालाकी ला सकता है।
