न खलु गर्भस्य न च मातुर्न पितुर्न चात्मनः सर्वभावेषु यथेष्टकारित्वमस्ति; ते किञ्चित् स्ववशात् कुर्वन्ति, किञ्चित्कर्मवशात्, क्वचिच्चैषां करणशक्तिर्भवति, क्वचिन्न भवति| यत्र सत्त्वादिकरणसम्पत्तत्र यथाबलमेव यथेष्टकारित्वम्, अतोऽन्यथा विपर्ययः| न च करणदोषादकरणमात्मासम्भवति गर्भजनने, दृष्टं चेष्टा योनिरैश्वर्यं मोक्षश्चात्मविद्भिरात्मायत्तम्| नह्यन्यः सुखदुःखयोः कर्ता| न चान्यतो गर्भो जायते जायमानः, नाङ्कुरोत्पत्तिरबीजात् ||९||

sanskrit

The mother, the father and the soul independently cannot produce an embryo. They contribute to some extent independently and to some extent, they work under the influence of karma (results of actions of the past life). They possess the capacity to do certain things on their own, but for other few things, they do not. When these factors combine with other factors, such as mind, sense organs, sperm, ovum etc. in their excellent conditions, depending upon their karma, they form the embryo by themselves. When there are deficiencies in these factors, the soul cannot form an embryo. It is well-known that self-realized souls can enter the wombs they desire and attain salvation. The soul itself is responsible for the pleasure and pain of the individual. The embryo is not formed by anything other than the soul. Nothing can be germinated without seeds.
