The Avatar

The Sanskrit word ‘Avatar’ means ‘Incarnation’. Brahman incarnating through maya.
It does not mean: reincarnation! There is nothing from the past that is reborn. Brahman is free of time.
Yet Brahman meets the temporal, becomes equal to it. As Jesus is spoken of as: fully God and fully human.
The Avatar therefore means God-man. The human and the divine as not-two. No: I and God.
‘Who has seen me has seen God,’ said Jesus!
Do not play with God in yourself. For you are fully human and God.

The Avatar

In theory, you can deny yourself as a person.
In theory, you can enthrone the so-called true self.
But in practice, you cling to almost everything in your life.
Yes, you are ‘That’ but also fully human. 

That is the true meaning of the Avatar. 

‘God birth, incarnation.’

Bhagavad Gita

People like to stare blindly at the so-called true self. It must offer them security.
They hope to be superhuman by staring at the navel.
But there is still hatred, envy, lust, greed and the like in their lives.
We cannot ignore ourselves as human beings, we are also human.
The light is of no use to you if you only want to be in it. Be a light to yourself. Penetrate everything that you are. Dispel the darkness through the light that you also are. Let ‘God’ and human being become one.
‘The Avatar’ (incarnation of God), message of the Bhagavad Gita.
