ॐ

तत्र तं बुद्धिसंयोगं लभते पौर्वदेहिकम् । यतते च ततो भूयः संसिद्धौ कुरुनन्दन ॥

tatra taṁ buddhisaṁyogaṁ labhate paurvadehikam, yatate ca tato bhūyaḥ saṁsiddhau kurunandana.

Meaning

"There, O joy of the Kurus, one regains the understanding developed in the previous life, and strives once again, even harder, for perfection."

Explanation

Nothing you've genuinely learned is ever fully lost—it resurfaces and gives you a head start when you return to the work.

Today's Life Lesson

If you're returning to something you once worked at, trust that your earlier effort still counts today.
