The Lord incarnates as human being to help humans comprehend that which apparently cannot be understood and to enable them to attain that which is seemingly unattainable. By this action, the Lord, who is infinite, immutable and immanent, does not suffer any diminution. Neither is He, though embodied in a human frame, influenced by the taints and blemishes that normally affect a human being. To grasp the significance of the Divine Incarnation, it is imperative that one should rise above the rajasic (passionate) and thamasic (dull) gunas (atrributes). Pious (sathwic) habits alone can lead him through the path of true devotion to the Lotus Feet of the Divine. For this, a favorable environment and company of good people are essential.

See Good, Be Good and Do Good - This is the way to God.  Baba
