Guest guest Posted March 27, 2002 Report Share Posted March 27, 2002 Why should God incarnate himself in human form? To make manifest to man the perfection of Divinity. Through these manifestations man can talk with God and see His play. In the incarnation, God fully enjoys, as it were, His own transcendent sweetness. In the saints, God manifests Himself only in part, like honey in a flower. You suck the flower and get a little honey. In the Incarnation, it is all 'honey' - all sweetness and all blessedness.

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2002 Report Share Posted March 27, 2002 Sustenance is a blessing.Mortals in physical forms need sustenance that is tangible.Those who are visited by hunger are satisfied by the food they recognize.Belief is sustained by blessing.Belief may also be induced and one can pray without belief and without expecting blessings.At these points in saadhana,tangibility ceases to be important.God need not reincarnate in human form.For He is already Immanent to the Inner Perceiver. , "sphurna" <sphurna> wrote: > Why should God incarnate himself in human form? > To make manifest to man the perfection of Divinity.
