Yesterday I disagreed with one statement that Akbar made

He said that even I love music like Salim
But there is a difference between love and passion
Salim has passion for music, art and painting
We all love music, art and painting but very few pursue it passionately and live an imprint of their passion after their death
Salim does not love music, art and painting he is passionate about it, its in his blood.
He had passion for nature and animals too
His age was called golden age for art and paintings in indian history
His description of birds, animals and nature was detailed
Please read below article on Jehangir

Do remember prem that Jehangir could indulge his 'passions' becoz his father had created that kind of environment for him - while when we actually look at Akbar then this man was passionate about everything that made him curious to seek more - and that kind of passion is what creates and nurtures all thing that are different and out of box - you shd read Irfan Habib to understand all that Akbar was passionately interested in - but yes what moved him most was philosophy.

Passion is something you dedicate your entire life too and can risk going against anyone and do anything for
Akbar's passion was in building a great empire in younger days and later on bringing all religions together that was his passion

very well said! akbar was busy with expansion of his empire and salim did not had to worry about that part as much and that is why shift in his passion or we can say something he was born with!

Passion for art cannot be developed mandy. You can ages and teach someone drawing, painting, music, writing, poetry but they can never learn and some are inborn with it. Salim was good at looking at paintings and saying who did which painting and whether they are fake or originals. Also love for nature love for flowers and animals they cannot develop you either have it or not.
