Simplified Meaning:
When someone has a natural talent or gift, you can't take it away from them, and it will always stand out. Imagine a person who's really good at painting. Even if others try to copy their work or steal their ideas, the original artist's true talent will still shine through in their art. Similarly, if a musician is naturally skilled, people will notice their unique way of playing, no matter what. The advice here is to focus on developing and using your own natural abilities because they will always be evident to others. Instead of worrying about others who might try to imitate you, trust that your own unique skills will be recognized and appreciated.
