Note – This part of Bhagavatham gives wonderful, scientific explanation on the conception and growth of the human baby. It is amazing to note how our masters could narrate these scientific facts without the aid of any instruments. Modern Science is yet to come upto that level of discoveries and understanding.

3.31.11- 21

The child suffers like hell in the womb and then “I”ness in the body dawns. The helpless and scared baby realizes that it was punished by the Lord to take this birth and prays for His mercy, “ I surrender at the Lotus Feet of the Lord, You alone can remove my fear and save me. Only You can free me from this bondage of Maya. Only You can impart the Knowledge of the Self and remove my ignorance. Only the omnipresent Bhagavan can liberate Jeevas like us from this bondage. When will You have the mercy to send me out of this suffocating womb? How can we give joy to You, we can only surrender to You”.

Now the child understands the difference between an animal and a human. It says, “an animal can only be aware of its bodily functions (Sthoolam). But only a human being can develop the awareness of the mind “Sookshmam” and realize God”.
