In other words they are born because they have a desire to aid mankind. This desire prevented their liberation or moksha in the last life. They spent the in between time in the higher planes of the Brahmaloka, where they could have waited for Mahapralaya and Moksha. Instead they took rebirth to help. However a Purna Avatar as opposed to an Amsa Avatar will take Moksha in this birth and become a Jivanmukta or one with 'God' completely merged. A mukta by definition has no desires or preferences at all. An Avatar descends with one--to help--which he drops on Moksha. So any so called avatar having preferences is obviously still in the egoistic state and therefore not a Mukta or Avatar.....ONS...Tony.IMHO. --- End forwarded message --- --- End forwarded message --- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
