wombs； how special were the wombs that carried great souls like buddha； mahavira； krishna； and jesus？
many things will have to be considered。
the first thing is： the purer the moment of lovemaking is； the purer the soul a womb can attract。
but sex has been condemned so much that the moment of copulation hardly ever bees a divine moment。
sex has already been branded as sacrilegious。
it is already rooted in our consciousness as something impure。
the sexual union between husband and wife takes place in the shadows of sin； it does not transpire in a worshipful moment of prayer and bliss。
naturally； it is not possible for a pure soul to be attracted toward a womb surrounded by a cloak of sin。
so in order that a higher soul may enter a womb； the first condition is that it be a divine moment of lovemaking。
in my view； the moment of sexual union is a moment of prayer。
only after prayer and meditation should the husband and wife enter into sex。
the result will be twofold。
one is that after meditation it wont be possible for them to enter into sex for years。
the first thing that will happen after meditation is that you wont be able to enter sex。
as you will go into meditation； the desire for sex will disappear …… meditation will bee the way to celibacy。
years will go by without sex。
the purity ensuing from these bygone years will not be the product of a suppressed sex。
it wont be the result of any vow taken by the husband and wife both practicing celibacy by sleeping separately in locked rooms； or the husband sleeping in the temple all by himself。
this celibacy will not be the consequence of a vow； rather it will be a spontaneous flowering。
it is simply impossible to enter sex after meditation。
meditation gives so much joy； such bliss； that why would one care for the pleasures of sex？
if husband and wife can meditate regularly for years； they wont be able to enter sex。
that will have a twofold effect。
one； the energy will bee very dynamic and intense。
a very potent sperm is needed in order to give birth to a pure soul。
weak sperms wont do。
only an intercourse which is preceded by years of celibacy can be effective in allowing a powerful soul to enter the womb。
after years of meditation when someone goes into sex …… that is； when meditation makes him petent to enter into sex …… then naturally it will have to be a divine moment； because if there had been even a slight impurity left in that moment； meditation would not have given the go…ahead。
when meditation gives the mand …… that is； when the possibility to enter sex exists even after one has been in meditation …… then it means that even sex has taken on a sacredness。
now it has a divineness of its own。
when two individuals make love in this divine moment； it would be better to say the union is not physical； it is very spiritual。
the bodies are meeting； yet the meeting is not physical …… it is very profound and spiritual。
so giving birth to a divine soul is not merely a biological phenomenon。
the meeting of two bodies simply provides an opportunity for another body to take birth； but when two souls meet as well； a situation is created for a greater soul to descend。
the births of mahavira or buddha are of this kind。
the birth of jesus is even more incredible。
the births of mahavira and buddha had been prophesied。
their ing was awaited for years。
every detail was foretold …… so much so that mahavira had even predicted in his previous life how many dreams the mother of his next life will have before his birth。
the dreams were mentioned in a sequence with their contents。
mahaviras prophecy was； 〃when these many dreams occur； know that i have entered the womb。
〃 he also pointed out the symbols that would appear in the dream …… a white elephant； a lotus； and so on。
so people were waiting eagerly for a woman to declare she had seen all the dreams with these symbols。
in buddhas case too； symbols were mentioned。
when he was due to be born； a monk from the faraway himalayas arrived at the palace。
he was old and had been waiting。
he was very worried lest he should die before the advent of buddha。
so when he came to beg at the palace； he told buddhas father；〃i know a child is to be born here。
i have e for his darshan； to see him and pay my respects。
〃
the father was very astonished to hear this。
the monk was a renowned figure； very famous； a divine person in his own right。
he had thousands of devotees； and he was asking to pay his regards to the child！ the father was simply amazed。
but he felt very happy too； because his wife had already mentioned to him the special dreams she had。
so the next day the monk arrived to see the newborn child。
seeing the child； the monk broke down and began crying bitterly。
the father became very worried。
he asked the monk； 〃are you crying because you see a bad omen？〃
the monk said； 〃there is no bad omen for the child。
i am crying for myself。
the man at whose feet i could have attained a timeless bliss； is born。
but alas； i am nearing death and this child will take time to grow and flower …… i cannot wait that long。
the time for my departure has e。

the birth of jesus was awaited by the whole world …… especially so in the middle east。
the prediction was that at the time of jesus birth； four stars will appear in the sky。
those who knew the secret understood the symbolic meaning of the stars。
a man from india journeyed to bethlehem in order to offer his greetings on jesus birth。
one man went from egypt； and two from other countries。
all four of them knew that the appearance of the four stars would herald the birth of jesus。
so as soon as they saw the stars； they hurried in search of the child。
the information was that those who recognized the stars would be guided by them to the place where the child was born。
the stars kept moving ahead and the travelers followed them。
the wise man from egypt who had set out in search of the child first came to herod …… the emperor at the time of jesus。
he said to the emperor； 〃perhaps you dont know； but the king of kings has arrived at last。
〃 herod couldnt follow what the man meant by 〃king of kings。
〃 he thought an enemy was born who would finish him someday； so he ordered all newly born children in jerusalem to be killed。
the news reached mary in time and she escaped。
jesus was born in hiding in a dark and dingy stable。
the story of jesus birth is even more significant than that of buddhas or mahaviras。
it illustrates the question you have asked： 〃what preparations are necessary in order to give birth to a higher soul？〃 jesus soul was ready to take birth。
a suitable mother was available； but not the father。
mariam was qualified to give birth to jesus； but her husband was not。
thats why it has always been said jesus was born of a virgin mother。
there is a reason for saying this； because the father was irrelevant。
jesus was indeed born of a virgin mother。
a bodiless soul； which the christians call the holy ghost； had to enter the body of jesus father。
through the medium of jesu
