People believe that incarnations of God happen only for two reasons - the punishment of the wicked and the protection of the righteous. These represent only one aspect. The Avatar or the Divine Incarnation is really the concretisation of the yearning of the seekers of God. It is the solidified sweetness of the devotion of godly aspirants. The granting of peace and joy, and sense of fulfilment to seekers who have striven long... this too is His task. The primary reason for the formless Divine to assume the Form is for the sake of the aspirants and the seekers.

I am the sole refuge of those who surrender to Me.   - Baba
