...An Impact
It is quoted in the Aagam (Jain Scriptures) that the seeds of values and character are sowed in a mother's womb. Every mother-to-be would have a vivid imagination about the to-be-born child. She wonders how would the child be... with whom her feelings, her life, her lifestyle is connected?
Every mother aspires that her child be peaceful, calm, intelligent, smart and brave and these thoughts vary with every pregnant woman. But surely, her thoughts have an impact on the child. Thus, what should a mother do if she wishes her child to have all the qualities she values...?
Is the mother truly responsible for all the qualities in the child?
Does she have an important role to play? Is it in her hands?
