What Makes A Genius: Acquired Or Inherent Talent?
Every now and then we come across creative or scholarly abilities in certain children whom we acknowledge as child prodigies. They are geniuses at one skill or another. A 4-year old child skillfully plays long notes on the piano, a 7-year old writes complex software code while another recites shlokas from the scriptures at age 5. When and from whom did they learn surprises everyone, especially when nobody in their family is inclined or trained in the same. Likewise renowned artists, musicians, engineers, sportsmen often display talent at a very young age and most of them do not inherit it from parents or family.
Spiritual wisdom teaches us that every action done by an individual upon taking a physical body is registered in the soul as a sanskar or habit. Our sanskars are a sum total of our nature, talents and inclinations. These sanskars are then carried into the subsequent births and are brought into action in the new births. Applying this understanding, the talent in a genius was learned, nurtured and mastered in his previous birth. Being registered on the soul, the talent is carried forward. The soul replays or reproduces the talent in this birth, in some cases in childhood itself. In short, genius is an experience. We think it is a gift or talent but it is a fruit of deep and long experience over many lifetimes. Some of us are older souls than others because we have been on the world stage for a longer duration and hence covered a journey of more number of births. Such souls carry forward experiences that are far deeper and longer than others. This understanding helps parents to encourage innate talent in children instead of expecting them to be the way they want them to be.

Message for the day 03-03-2020
-----------------------------------------
Humility is to respect everything that comes our way.
Expression: To love simple things is humility. It teaches to respect all that life brings. That means there is an ability to appreciate and value everything appropriately. So one is able to use everything that comes one way to the fullest extent for the benefit of the self and that of others.
Experience: When I am humble I am able to remain focused on my inner peace and not lose my sense of personal well-being. I am able to simply learn from everything that happens to my life and add on to this sense of well-being. No situation is difficult or impossible to work on, but I am able to overcome all challenges with ease.
