🌻 Descent of the Divine 🌻

In every living being the divinity is present, either in a special form or in complete wholeness. 

When we encounter divinity in a being in completeness and wholeness we call it an Avatar, an incarnation of God. In the Eastern wisdom teachings Avatars are a descent of a sublime being, of a God on Earth. 

For them there is no need to be born in a mortal body. The scriptures say that the omnipresent God takes to a form of an Avatar through his celestial power of Maya. 

Thus the Lord descends into a physical body through which the divine consciousness radiates. He is the “Word made flesh”, and symbolically we live on “His blood and His wounds”.

When the Divine functions through a human being as his instrument and the human has prepared himself to let the function happen, he is called a teacher. Wherever something good is happening through a human form, anything that helps humanity to take a major step forward, the Divine is at work. 

And wherever something good happens, wherever the eternal truth is presented without the colouring of any religion or ideology, we should respect these messengers. It is one electric current passing through so many instruments.

When an Avatar is born, this event generally remains unnoticed. Avatars are also often not recognised by their contemporaries. 

They do their work in a simple and humble way and then go again. But with the time, their impact makes it clear that here the Divine has expressed itself. 

Just like from a source a feeble spring of water comes forth which in its coursing grows bigger and bigger and increases to a grand river, the work of an Avatar unfolds little by little. Our eyes are opened by the narrations of the sages of the past. 

The stories about the lives of the Avatars and the great teachers make us aware of their work; the narrations uplift us and allow us to identify with the Divine. Teachings or moral rules don’t have such an effect. 

But by studying the events of the lives of these great ones, we tune to their energy, and this awakens in us the awareness of the Divine.

However, there is no place for the craze to find out who and where a real Avatar is. 

Expectations block the connection and prevent the influx of the energy. The real Avatar is a continuous process in the creation and evolution. 

In the language of Master CVV, the Avatar is in everyone of us and he can be known through the “Higher Bridge beginning”. This higher bridge is what Master D.K. calls the Antahkarana.

In every astrological age, a great World Teacher or Avatar represents the highest ideal of perfection which humanity can reach during that age. Thus, in one of the Cancer ages Rama was the divine Avatar. 

In an age of Gemini it was Hermes, in the age of Taurus Krishna, in the age of Aries Moses and in the age of Pisces it was Jesus Christ.
