Question: Is there a special relation between a mother's soul and her child's soul?

Sri Chinmoy: Normally there is, but it is not always so. At times a soul enters into the physical body of the mother in spite of her intention or wish. Again, sometimes a particular soul does not want to enter into the physical body of the mother, but the mother’s soul pleads with that soul to enter into her body.
