Maintain silence in the presence of birth to save both the sanity of the mother and the child and safeguard the home to which they will go.

A child ... should have a silent, as painless as possible, birth. The delivery itself should ... be as calm and no-talk as possible.

Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.

Let your Father and your Mother be glad, and let her rejoice who gave birth to you.

Blessed is the mother who gave birth; blessed and respected is the father of one who serves the True Guru and finds peace. His arrogant pride is banished from within. Standing at the Lord's Door, the humble Saints serve Him; they find the Treasure of Excellence.

. . . You were aimed from birth:you will never be alone. Rainwill come, a gutter filled, an Amazon,long aisles -- you never heard so deep a sound,moss on rock, and years. You turn your head --that's what the silence meant: you're not alone. The whole wide world pours down.
