Bringing Soul Into World

When a man comes in physical contact with his wife, the circumstances she controls through what prayers and through what vows! 
For that which brings forth the child is the holiest symbol of God himself. It is the greatest prayer between man and wife, the prayer that is going to bring into the world another soul fraught with a tremendous power for good or for evil. 

Is it a joke? Is it a simple nervous satisfaction? 
Is it a brute enjoyment of the body? 
Says the Hindu: no, a thousand times, no!
