action, aloofness and solitude are degrees of renunciation of life as man knows it. Man seeks to escape from the hurry burry of life because of the confusion and conflict that rages within it. The solution of man's ills seems to lie outside society and human relationships. Renunciation as a way of life counselled by the majority has been found to be impracticable as those who go out of it find ways and means of returning to it.

Diving evolution is possible only with the help of the Divine. It may be suggested that lesser levels of life could be attained with the help of lesser forces than the Divine and the Ultimate. God then is the only means available to man to reach upto the highest levels. Even the godliest personality could only lead upto it, because he also is moving more and more towards that Godhead or is immanent in that Godhead. Explanations of avatar-hood pertain only to the Divine Ultimate and cannot be assumed by every one. Avatar is like the Descent of the ultimate out of His own supreme beneficence, and cannot be
