The Human and the Divine side of the Avatar

The Avatar is a double phenomenon. He is not an evolutionary being who has reached the Divine Consciousness through a process of psychic evolution spread across many lives. And yet he is very much a conscious and active participant in the evolutionary process going on upon Earth. In fact he is a descent from Above, the Divine forfeiting His divinity to redeem earth, the Divine identifying with our humanity so as to hew the ways for us to follow. As we approach the 24th April Darshan we dwell a little upon this great mystery, the mystery of the Divine becoming human.
