When an act is a game, brain is the pitch and the player is the soul. The efforts of the player in getting accustomed to the pitch, understanding the pitch and learning how well the pitch can be utilized to show the best of his performance, decides the skill and smartness of the player and eventually decides his caliber. The so called skill and smartness of the player can be equaled to the knowledge and wisdom of the soul. And the pitch can be paralleled to the brain.
When a skilled player, who has shown his skill on a pitch, is asked to play on the other pitch, he certainly takes certain time to accustom and to use the new pitch. Obviously the consumption of time in this aspect differs from a player to the other. Similarly, when a soul which was skilled in certain aspect, enters a new body, shows the similar skill after getting accustomed to the new brain and new environment. Hence we see many child prodigies who display their skills just with a nominal training. Those are the skills gained in respective past births of those souls. None of us are born with complete physical development. Initially we are all children, then boys and girls and finally men and women. Souls have to cross the stages of evolution even in body form. Until and unless the stadium and pitch is completely ready to play the game, the player cannot put his best. From this cause, the real quality of the soul cannot be visualized till he grows complete. Although a few symptoms give an apparent picture of the particulars of the soul since from the childhood, the real picture comes out when his body grows as an adult.
A soul which is driven towards archery and learned the same with complete dedication develops certain skills like right holding of the arrow , right aiming on the target and right releasing of the arrow. When this skill is automated with the soul it becomes a child's play for him to hit the target. And that skill becomes a parameter to describe the soul. When the same soul left his body and entered into other, he will be driven towards something that is in tune with his tendencies and his skills. Depending on the time he is in the second body, he may get driven towards shooting. He learns right holding of the gun, right aiming at the target and right trigger operation, very fast, depending on the similar skill he developed in his past birth. His brain acts as per his interest and effort.
In a like manner, an astrologer may become a mathematician in his next life in body form. A fencing warrior may turn as a karate fighter, a French poet may turn as an Arabic poet, a stage actor may become a film actor, a skilled horse rider may become a champion in grand prix international, a wrestler may turn as a boxer, a priest may turn as a haji, a haji may take shape as a clergy-man, a clergy-man may turn as a monk in Himalayas and so on and so forth in their eventual births depending on the prevailing time and controlled terrestrial environment.
These proclivities are not merely restricted to skills and learning capabilities but also to the love, the hatred, the values, the considerations etc. A group of souls who live together sharing love or affection or enmity or hatred may again born together in future life times, carrying those feelings, may be with same or different relations they have had in their previous life times.
Body is a form that possesses the energy to force the soul towards forgetfulness of gained knowledge in previous births and in in-between state and makes him a complete terrestrial being. Hence it is only the wisdom that stays with the soul when it is in body form. And that wisdom should over take the soul from the baleful worldly decelerators. And so, even the souls ahead of us who take births to accomplish certain good and great missions do not know about their exact previous existence. In fact, it is the soul that has to be nurtured which is possible only with the matter of gaining wisdom through learning, practice and revising, whatever the earthly environment be or in whichever body the soul dwells be. There is many a veil to cover and hide the wisdom that is gained and stays with the souls. Sometimes it takes many life times to unveil the wisdom hidden under those veils. This situation arise when the soul, especially that is in body form is carried away by the sinister values akin to anger, fleshy lust, fear of proving to be a convict when committed certain unpleasant acts, guilt, depression and so on.
