Srimad-Bhagavatam Lectures

When the consciousness comes back, then he feels pains and pleasure, because when the body is developed . . . the body is very delicate. So he is forced to live within urine and stool and so many secretion, and there are always worms in the stool, in the urine, and they take advantage of the delicate body, and they bite. So the baby, packed up, cannot move, cannot say anything, but feels pain, therefore moves. And the pregnant woman therefore feels that the child is moving at the age of seven months in the womb.

We learn from Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam that after the sex between the man and the woman, the man injects the semina within the womb of the mother, of the woman, and it is emulsified first night, and immediately forms a pealike form. That pealike form develops. So as soon as it is developed . . . of course, in the process of development, there is no consciousness, just like deep sleeping. It is like that. But as soon as the body is little developed, the . . . there are nine holes: two nostrils, two ears, two eyes, one navel, one genital, one rectum. These nine holes develop, then the consciousness comes back. And when the consciousness comes back, then he feels pains and pleasure, because when the body is developed . . . the body is very delicate. So he is forced to live within urine and stool and so many secretion, and there are always worms in the stool, in the urine, and they take advantage of the delicate body, and they bite. So the baby, packed up, cannot move, cannot say anything, but feels pain, therefore moves. And the pregnant woman therefore feels that the child is moving at the age of seven months in the womb.

So therefore the struggle begins from the womb. And when the child comes out, again struggle. He is lying on the bed; some bug is biting. He cannot express. He is crying, and the mother thinks that he's hungry. In this way, wrongly understands, cannot give relief him. And he is going on crying, crying, crying. We have seen it. We have . . . everyone has got experience. Then as soon as he is grown up, he is given responsibility for learning A-B-C-D, or going to school. He doesn't like. No child likes. At least, I did not like to go to school. So this is also another struggle. Then, when he is grown up, he is given more and more responsibility, examination, and then married life, then family maintenance. In this way struggling, struggling, struggling—again death; again enter into the womb of mother. Again the same struggle. So where is happiness? Therefore when Kṛṣṇa says, duḥkhālayam aśāśvatam (BG 8.15), "This whole material world is a place for suffering only," that is a fact. But mūḍho 'yam, being enamored by māyā, he does not know. He forgets. This life is of forgetfulness, ignorance.
