Guest guest Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 The Avathaar comes when there is yet a remnant of good men, yet a trace of Dharma; for what is the use of a doctor when the patient has collapsed? When a large number of good men are afflicted with the fear for the survival of goodness, then the Lord incarnates to feed their drooping spirits and revive faith and courage. "Parithraanaaya Saadhoonaam" in the Geetha does not mean the "protection of Saadhus or ascetics;" it means the "protection of all who have Saadhu virtues;" 'Saadhu' means 'good.' Good virtues might be found even in animals and insects and worms. He will guard and guide even such. He comes to promote Dharma; and virtue is the foundation of Dharma. Come to Me with empty hands; I shall fill your hands with gifts and grace. If you hands are full, what am I to fill them with? - From Swami's Divine Discourse on 14th January 1962.
