descended has been fulfilled. Thus Lord Rama is absorbed into the source whereas Lord Krishna’s reign will continue till the next one which is believed to be that of Kalki as held by the Hindus.
The Master gives the difference between the ordinary human being and an Avatar. Both have the same origin but ordinary man is possessed of number of coverings as compared to the Avatar who has only a few. The Avatar always has the Divine in its perception whereas the ordinary man is deprived of it. The Avatar has for its samskaras the divine task, which it has come down to fulfill and the power withdraws the Avatar at the end of its mission. It receives instructions from the Divine direct for the execution of its task in the form of Divine commands also known as Deva- vani and everything it stands in need of comes from the eternal source. As they possess activity, the possession of mind is necessary for them as well but this mind is far more pure compared to the ordinary human mind and functions according to Divine will. The Avatars also go through sufferings and misery during their sojourn on the earth but they are able to maintain equanimity and balance and their hearts and minds are free from the impressions that may be cast by such experiences.
The Master clarifies the position of the Present Personality at work through His reading of Nature by the kind grace of God as He puts it. He comes down from the Central Point and hence is in possession of highly potential powers, though to outer view they may appear dim or subdued. None of the Avatars came down so far have ever been blessed with the power of the Root. We find in the ‘Path of Grace’, a commentary on the Master’s work ‘Towards Infinity’, that the great Avatar Lord Krishna has control over the great revolving power also named SudarshanaChakra located in the seventh knot. The Master reveals that the Present Personality has command over the far more potent power, the Mahakaal Chakra or the Wheel of Time, for performing the gigantic task before Him that of thorough overhaul of nature and spiritual rejuvenation of mankind. The Master says elsewhere that the phenomenon will not be repeated and another descent of this significance and dimension will not occur for another millennium at least. It is indeed a great boon to humanity that the Special Personality is willing out of His loving compassion to assist all persons with sincere aspiration to transform themselves through the line of trainers permitted by Him and confer the highest approach on the deserving in spite of His preoccupation with nature’s work entrusted to Him.
