Upon investigation, it was found that the mother had a poster of a black warrior hung in her room. She was extremely fond of him, she was engrossed in continuous thoughts of the person in the poster, and eventually, this led to the birth of a child that resembled the warrior in the poster.
There was once an era, where a pregnant lady would never ever see or talk with another man other than her husband. Perhaps people would refer to this as an old, unworthy practice. But a child born to such a woman would have extraordinary qualities, a unique shine on the face and a distinguishing personality.
If a mother's thoughts and conduct during her pregnancy are negative, then, she will have to face their repercussions for the rest of her life. That is why the first essential highlight is the eyes... “See only that, which is good.” What is worth seeing is either Parmatma or introspection to see one's own soul.
The second essential aspect is to listen. What is worth listening, are the divine words of Parmatma... preachings of the Guru... good discourses! And last, but not the least, is good conduct.
Cleanliness, self-control and simplicity are the keys to good conduct.
