Everyone is unique and has unique capabilities. There is no comparison. One can draw better than anyone in the planet. One can dance, one can sing, one can cook, one can do job, one can invent new stuff, one can play etc. Each person has such distinguish abilities. If we expect from the dancer to sing like lathamangeshkar ji saying everyone has same qualities, then that person may become a singer but can never become great singer. Since it is against his inner nature. Anything against inner nature can never allow him to excel in any way.
If Sachin Tendulkar was forced to play chess than cricket saying chess is also a game, you can become grand master, may be he would have become great chess master but would never become grand master as his inner nature is not designed.
It's foolish thing to expect everyone to study and do job. There are thousands of people who wish to do farming in better way but continuing their jobs for the sake of fulfilling responsibilities or for the sake of society. But those thousands could never become Bill gates or Steve jobs because their inner nature is against it.
You may ask then why Rishi's say everyone is equally capable?
Yes. Let's take an example. If the student sees the toughest question first and thinking to write answers to that question, he would waste ample amount of time. If he starts writing answers to the questions which knew and can answer better, once he completes the easy questions, he can then answer tough questions too. Similarly if one is allowed to exercise his inner freedom, and make him excel in that, then later he can easily excel in other stuff too. Suppose one is capable of drawing finely, if he/she is allowed to draw first, then they excel in drawing. Once they excel in drawing, they can then easily excel other areas.
In ancient days, the Rishi's never taught Vedas to everyone or archery to everyone. They used to analyse their students capabilities, and according to that, they teach their favourite subjects. Once every student excels in his/her favorite area, they would then be allowed to learn other areas too. In this way, there were many great scholars who excelled in all 64 Kalas.
The most saddest part is..every parent is spending huge amount of money or investment on their kids to study , do job and settled in life. Person is never settled by having a car, bunglaw, or amenities or security. He is settled only when he does according to his inner nature. Even if he stitch shoes, he is settled. This nature is so free that anything can be made possible. It's time for parents to stop putting pressure on their kids to study, do job, settle in life.. no... Give freedom to their inner nature..help them to explore it with the help of yoga/meditation.. let that inner nature decides what the kid truly wants to do.. then we will see a different era of the Kali yuga where money, luxury do not matter.. wish I witness such era in my lifespan..
PS: kudos to the people and their parents who are already following this way..
