“THE EDUCATION of a human being should begin at birth and continue throughout his life.
Indeed, if we want this education to have its maximum result, it should begin even before birth; in this case it is the mother herself who proceeds with this education by means of a twofold action: first, upon herself for her own improvement, and secondly, upon the child whom she is forming physically. For it is certain that the nature of the child to be born depends very much upon the mother who forms it, upon her aspiration and will as well as upon the material surroundings in which she lives. To see that her thoughts are always beautiful and pure, her feelings always noble and fine, her material surroundings as harmonious as possible and full of a great simplicity — this is the part of education which should apply to the mother herself. And if she has in addition a conscious and definite will to form the child according to the highest ideal she can conceive, then the very best conditions will be realised so that the child can come into the world with his utmost potentialities. How many difficult efforts and useless complications would be avoided in this way!”

INSIGHTS
Right from the time or even before when the couple plans to conceive a child they can plan for tiny practices and habits to bring the following more within themselves, hold it together and allow it to be come present within their home:
- Bring beauty and purity within thoughts
- Invoke beauty, cleanliness and sense of harmony in the home
- Let go of stuff that is accumulating in the house, especially in the bedroom. In the bedroom every object is to be kept consciously as an invocation for Divine Qualities to be present during conversations, act of intimacy and while being with each other
- Connect one’s inner sensations, feelings and emotions to Divine Qualities through resonant mantras, chants, paintings, sculptures and the like
- Learn to hold individually and together: A calm and clear will, perhaps within the cave of their heart or eyebrow center. Inwardly sense or see a child with the utmost ideal and higher qualities. The Divine chooses the child’s soul that would birth through you. To support the reception of a pure soul the couple can hold the aspiration for a child of fuller potentials to enter this world. It is a subtle art of holding a full aspiration with faith while at same time being with a full surrender to the Divine to take over the process of the birth of a Divine Child through you.
- Sincerity of the couple to embody each day a bit more all the qualities of goodness as a prerequisite to receive a Divine Child, should be like a flame lit steady
