Inborn Talents and Cultivated Talents

We being children of one spiritual father need not compete with one another. Our Baba has not spared any effort in giving each of us some special talent. He never differentiates between one of lowly birth or whether one is born a prince. To Him all are equal. Many of us do not get a chance to make use of the talent, and some are not even aware of the special quality that they are in possession of until some discerning person points out to him and offers him a chance. Then almost dramatically that person becomes famous.Now this is one type of a story. But there is also another side to this story. There are some people who from their early childhood know of their inborn talent because everyone around him appreciates them and talks about it. You can say there are number of positive angles to this condition. Yet, from the purely spiritual angle, there is a negative tag to this. Baba sent us into this world with specific role and Baba expects us to grow in different dimensions. He has not sent us to play the same record over and over again as if the needle was stuck in one groove. He has offered us numerous avenues in which to gain new knowledge and grow. To be worthy children of our beloved Baba, we must demonstrate to Him that we are willing to grow and make His dream come true. Let your original talent be the main stay, but give a chance for some new complementary talent to also grow and make your life richer.
