Message of the Avathaar
Q.
Is Meher Baba an Avathaar of God ?
Ans.
Yes.
Meher Baba is God's Avathaar for the Modern Age.
In these troubled times, God can reach into our hearts more easily through Meher Baba than through the teachings of the older avathars which, though inherently universal in character, was adapted by their early followers to the regional requirements, customs and traditions of their times.
It becomes more and more difficult, almost impossible, to lift the earlier teachings out of their older contexts and apply them to the universal requirements of human evolution as we reach and travese modern times.
A great failure of human civilization looms before us amidst indications of progressive rejection of what is good for man in all parts of the world.
In trying to dispense the ancient divine elixir, from aged deteriorating containers, with a fanatic belief in customs of the past, there is a great chance of failure in God's pristine teachings reaching the common man.
A "communication gap" has arrived and is vastly widening with the passing of time.
Our coming generations will be left, restless and leaderless, without peace, safety and security that basic "pure bhakthi" alone can provide.
The progressive spiritual evolution of man will be put to stake. We should not allow our valuable human civilization that ancient prophets built for us so meticulously, to be destroyed for want of commonsense in spiritual management.
God has appeared again amidst our midst as Meher Baba to help us start solving this problem of ours.
He has put the immortal wine of God in new containers for modern man, without the loss of its original taste and flavour, for the new generation to imbibe.
He has laid out a new path for us to follow and save the world.
A new avathar was desperately needed and He came to us.
As an older avathar Sri Krishna said, at the end of in his "Geetha",
"It is now up to you.Take it or leave it."
If we reject the Lord's timely message through His avathaars, we will have to face the consequences of rejection of God's word that the New Avathar relayed to us.
