Shloka Translation
BG – Ch. 6- Ver. 43:

They reawaken the wisdom of their prior lifetimes when they take such a birth, O descendant of Kurus, and strive even harder for perfection in Yoga.

Explanation

God, who resides in every living being’s heart, is absolutely just. He is aware of all of our spiritual assets from previous lives detachment, wisdom, devotion, faith, tolerance, determination, and so on. So, when the moment is right, he rewards us for our earlier efforts by enhancing our spirituality from within, in accordance with our previous achievements.

When their spiritual sanskrs awaken, they profit from their prior lives’ sadhana. By God’s favour, the yogi of former lives receives his previous spiritual assets, allowing him to resume his journey where he left off, hat is why such a yogi never gets lost.

Those who are fortunate enough to be born into a family of meditators gain from both nature and nurture. Such children will be drawn to satsangs, bhajans, and lectures from an early age, but they will not understand why. They will immediately continue their spiritual journey and begin striving for liberation once this occurs. Furthermore, their determination will be even greater than it was in their previous try.

These children will be uninterested in earthly pleasures since they have previously tasted them and have gotten their fill. They will no longer have any material desires. Others will be confused as to why these children aren’t drawn to the things that typical children crave.
