________________ External Influence on the Human Being. THE state of the earth, atmosphere, and aromal emanations given off in different seasons of the year, all these with their changing influences, contribute to form the essence of the embryonic being, ere it sees the light. The inherited tendencies of the mind, body and spirit. imposed by the parental law, impart to the life--germs their own peculiar idiosyncrasies. The physical sustenance, mental temperament, the very employment and thoughts of every mother, combine also to impress, with faithful images, their unborn offspring; but above all, the order of the planetary scheme, and the conjunction which very star sustains, first to the sun, next to the earth and finally to each other at the moment of mortal birth, must deterinine the nature of every spirit, and shape the springs upon which hinge the framework of human character, There cannot be two planetary conjunctions in the field of space which in all respects, exactly duplicate each other: and this is the reason why those creatures, launched every second into human life, under the influence of ever-varying astral changes, must differ so widely from each other in all the essentials of physical Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
