Although humanity has been exposed to many Advents (Avatar), people have not yet fully understood all aspects of an Advent. We should examine the reason why the formless Lord takes the form of a human being and comes into the midst of humans. It is so that He may mix with the human beings and set examples and ideals, and convey to them all aspects that they should learn. Many ask innocently and ignorantly why an Avatar, who is all powerful, should subject Oneself to all troubles; and why should He tolerate hunger and suffering all around. An Avatar who has all the powers should be able to remove all such suffering in one moment. If there is any meaning in such a question, why should an Avatar come in human form at all? He can remain as formless Divinity and do all these things from that position itself. In time, and under certain conditions whatever has to be done must be done and such acts have to be performed at a human level.
