How can one be in full consciousness at birth?

definition
"To be born in full consciousness, one must cultivate awareness and meditation throughout life, for it is in the preparation for death that we truly prepare for the next birth."
According to Osho, birth and death are two sides of one coin; you cannot directly influence birth, but by cultivating deep meditation and awareness now—preparing long before death—so you can die fully conscious and dis-identified from the body, your next birth will occur in full consciousness. Waiting until death is too late; lifelong sadhana awakens awareness and preserves continuity (and potential memory) across lives.
Practice deep meditation now so you can die fully awake; then you’ll be born fully awake too.
