Tasya Saprasavaa Iva - (Born With)

तस्य सप्रसवा इव
(Born With)

Silence over wisdom accrued. Accommodating the vanquished enemies. No pride over sacrifices. These and other laudable characteristics were as if inborn in members of the Raghu dynasty(Kaalidaasa in RaghuvaMsha).

As we mature in life, we acquire many qualities after much effort. Those born with such qualities would have put in efforts for many previous births. Your birth in good families is itself a result of good work in earlier lives( Geetaa). Such blessed people turn out Gurus. They begin their mission early in life - Shankaraachaarya, RamaNa, RaamakruShNa, Jesus.

When you toil and mature, in the end there is a tendency to feel proud of the achievements and this acts as a setback. This applies both to acquiring jnaana and wealth, says the Lord in the Geetaa.

All your work and the results, you should dedicate to God at every stage. This is essential to keep pride at bay.
