Talent

[PureInsight.org] In the past,
I always considered the word "gift" or "talent" to be a complimentary
word. For example, one might say that this person is gifted and has
outstanding natural talent.



Today, I suddenly enlightened that the word "gifted" means the ability
and responsibility endowed by nature. People who have been given this
ability must fulfill their awarded and promised responsibilities.



For example, there are virtuosos, painters, dancers, singers and so on.
They all have great talents. Their abilities cannot be compared with
those of common people.



Why do gods entrust a person with such an out of the ordinary special capability?  



Oh, now I understand that gods want him to eulogize gods with his
special gift. He also needs to spread the warnings that gods gave to
mankind.



Do not be conceited because of that special talent and do not look down
upon others due to the great gift. The reason that gods give you such
talent is to let you do things in the human world for gods so that
gods' will can manifest to human beings through you.



Therefore, when others praise you and say that you have a special
talent, you must thank gods with a humble mind, since that talent is
given to you by gods. This is the correct attitude that a living being
should have.
