Guest guest Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 Thus Spake The Lord The Avatar comes to reveal man to himself, to restore to him his birthright of Atmic Bliss. He does not come to found a new creed, to breed a new faction, to install a new God. If such a thing happens, it is the consequence of the evil in man. The Avatar comes as man in order to be within the reach of Man. The human mind cannot grasp the absolute, attributeless principle; it is abstract and beyond the reach of speech, mind and intellect. Fire is inherent in the match-stick, but it is only when it is struck as a flame that we can benefit by it. The Nirguna (attributeless) has to manifest as Saguna (with qualities); the Niraakaara (Formless) has to appear with Form. Then only can man listen, learn, understand, follow and be saved, through the bliss of that experience. The Avatar lights the flame of Realization in each, and the age-old ignorance is destroyed in an instant. Reference: Sathya Sai Speaks, Vol. XI, P. 290-291.
