Does this mean "Your talent is so inborn as to be bought cheaply(without any cost), but dedication is something you have to exert your effort for"? Does "costly" mean "expensive" or "in need of sacrifice"?

ex)Bertoldo di Giovanni is a name even the most ehthusiastic lover of art is unlikely to recognize...Bertold was wise enough to realize that gifted people are often tempted to coast rather than to grow, and therefore he kept trying to pressure his young genius to work seriously at his art. One day he came into the studio to find Michelangelo toying with a piece of sculpture far beneath his abilities. He grabbed a hammer and smashed the work into tiny pieces, shouting this unforgettable message, "Michelangelo, talent is cheap ; dedication is costly!"
