Here the test lays bare the scatteredness of every disciple but one. It is telling that even righteous Yudhishthira sees "the tree, the teacher, the brothers, and the bird" all at once: his mind, for all its nobility, is not fixed on a single point. In this it is seen that virtue without concentration is not enough for the highest attainment: a scattered mind does not reach its goal, however good it may be. It is telling that all answer honestly — and all are reproached: the matter is not sincerity but focus. The scripture unfolds here a parable of meditation: while the mind sees "many things," it is unfit; only one who sees a single thing will strike the target. Thus the scripture prepares to reveal the one whose mind is wholly gathered — exalting the ideal of one-pointed concentration, without which both talent and virtue are in vain.
