Your POWERS or TALENTS are Not the Result of Heredity | Swami Abhedananda

"Those who accept the truth of reincarnation do not blame their parents for their poor talents, or for not possessing extraordinary powers, but they remain content with their own lot, knowing that they have made themselves as they are today by their own thoughts and deeds in their previous incarnations. They understand the meaning of the saying 'what thou sowest thou must reap', and always endeavour to mould their future by better thoughts and better deeds. They explain all the inequalities and diversities of life and character by the law of 'karma', which governs the process of reincarnation as well as the gradual evolution of the germs of life from lower to higher stages of existence." ~ Swami Abhedananda

About Swami Abhedananda:
Swami Abhedananda (1866 - 1939), born Kaliprasad Chandra, was an enlightened yogi and monk. He was a direct disciple of the 19th century mystic Ramakrishna Paramahansa. He was the founder of Ramakrishna Vedanta Math. Swami Vivekananda sent him to the West to head the Vedanta Society of New York in 1897, and spread the message of Vedanta, a theme on which he authored several books through his life, and subsequently founded the Ramakrishna Vedanta Math, in Kolkata and Darjeeling.

    Yes beautiful said it's the reincarnation factor which plays a pivotal role in our existing life and hence we should walk the talk in conformity with the nature that controls our senses and intellectual interface in this material world for a better life on rebirth in this material plane.

    Each soul chooses limitedness unknowingly because of Maya and thinks just in a limited sense of a soul and not as a thought free consciousness. Each thought it thinks as its nature or as a want constructs itself and its path to travel. On its journey it performs various actions based on the above and creates vasanas or occupied directional thoughts which creates a direction or a way for further actions thereby creating a pattern of cause and effect. Karma is a memory path based on the above cause and effect. When it comes to children each child or a soul creates its own destiny which includes its characters also but borns into a environment which supports that destiny or a pattern of cause and effect accustomed to this soul out of the soul's choice of known patterns. You can be a saint born to a thief or vice versa if your karmic patterns of the activities to be performed can be supported in that prevailing environment. That's why guru's help is necessary to guide the soul in unknown paths otherwise by nature it sticks to the known paths. Guru combines the soul path to detour from the automatic patterns or paths it is carrying out. But however it is important to finish the already present cause and effect tour as it is fixed for the soul to cover but the grace of guru will stop by making specific detours which limits the residual karmic patterns.

    This is a teaching upon reincarnation of our Souls and Karmas from all of our Existences and prior births. This is such a complex subject and many scholars have written volumes on this topic.It's worth delving into as a means to understand yourself and samsaras.. We are all an accumulation of countless reincarnations from so many lifetimes and existences in other dimensions besides this Earth..In your meditations and studying this topic in Buddhist and Hindu scriptures it may give you better understanding..I'm not qualified to comment.. Although it's really the only thing in this life that makes any sense..and when the planets shift and our karmas ripen we experience joys and sorrows, life love loss death.Unless we are enlightened beings we can't know how a lifetime from 100 Lifetime's ago is affecting our life now..If our Souls are in a continuum we take our Gifts and Abilities or Addiction etc into the next Body.. That's why it's perfectly easy for a Child who died as a Master in their Field of study to spontaneously access these abilities or a theif or assassin to do the same.Hope this helps..be Peaceful and in your Quiet the answers will arise.

    Batman, lol 🙂 Well, the answer is in fact quite simple, just needs a different worldview than the one that dominates our current society which is based on materialistic view. But, if you come from the standpoint that in fact consciousness is primary, which btw has also many proponents in science, then a lot of things can be explained. For instance, both karma and free will can exist at the same time. How? It all in fact depends on your level of consciousness, and level of consciousness is directly corelated with your identification with this material world. So, the more you are identified with everything that happens around you and your thoughts, the more you are entrenched in karmic cycle. Your question in fact comes from that level of consciousness, and indeed, there's no answer on how to break that cycle while in that state of mind / consciousness. But, if you are able to at least somewhat detach yourself from your mind activity and become conscious observer, then you in fact start having free will. You can then realize that most of your thoughts are in fact conditioned, but, now you can choose whether to engage with them, ignore them, or make new thoughts. So that's it. The shortest possible answer to your question I could possibly write 🙂

    Incomplete Knowledge !!! • It is true that the difference in nature of every child is because of its karmic baggage. But it must also be considered that it is verily the karmas of parents which plays a significant role in attracting such souls towards them. • It is significantly influenced by the nature of parents whether they will beget a souls endowed either with asuric or divine tendencies. For eg: look at the life of parents of Adi Shankara. • Sometimes, the child conceived during wrong or forbidden times (which is obviously because of the prarabdha of parents) also leads to the birth of progeny endowed with asuric tendencies. For e.g : birth of devas and danavas by Kashyap. • In short, a child born in accordance with Dharma will be equipped with divine tendencies and a child born in accordance with adharma will be equipped with asuric tendencies. This is enunciated by Swayambhu Manu himself.

    Karma is such a vast subject. This is why it takes a lifetime to understand the destiny of one's karma, in this incarnation. Only at the moment of death we realize all that we build and all we dissolve.

    While KARMA plays a very important role, the genes from some forefathers or mothers could have played a role too. How to disagree with this, pls?. Also, how much FREE WILL & CHOICES anybody has?. There must be a SUPREME POWER bestowing the best or the worst on any individuals. How to disagree with this?. Reincarnation involves a whole lot of things. How to disagree with this, pls?. So, mere KARMAS alone will not produce either a genius or a murderer. Explain pls. MeenaC

    Also, why even twins don't have similar qualities, character etc... & why not children born to the same parents are not similar in their everything?. The genes' distributions would be different both from the parents & the forefathers & mothers. Hence not every child is going to be a Mozart, Beethoven or Srinivasa Ramanujam. Yes, each person's KARMAS also play a role in all of these but not just KARMAS alone. Makes sense?. Explain pls. MeenaC

    Your soul is born in family according to its tendencies and Past life Karma that is going to manifest as prarbdha. Our life is our making as it's on journey to maturity from neive to enlightenment only in human form it has 7 stages=7glands=7chakras=7phases/psychi at the end it realises it self as part of superconsiousness in real experience =turya stat=end of all material Moh /moksha and end of birth and death cycle. SO till you don't learn you can't go to upper stage and getting rebirth on same cycle.

    Always few of your family member is on higher stage so that it guides and few below that tests your tendencies whether you overcome or not. Example if you stuck in anger some will guide and some will pock. But you have to be witness it everything going as act stay in full awareness and overcome slowly. You have right to choose your actions so why lower one like greed, envy or anger...Always choose higher qualities like compassion, love that's in literature called as samudra Manthan b/w dev and danavly qualities in us....vasuki is spinal cord...meru is our spine.
