Bhagavad Gita 4:7-8; the Bhagavata Purana

Whenever righteousness wanes and unrighteousness rises, I send myself forth. For the protection of the good, for the undoing of evil, and for the establishing of righteousness, I come into being age after age.

Though I am unborn and my Self imperishable, though I am the lord of all creatures, I take birth through my own maya, drawing on my own nature. — Bhagavad Gita 4:7-8

The Avatara is not a created being approaching the divine. It is the divine descending into the created — taking on a particular form, a particular life, a particular face — so that the ground of all existence becomes present and recognizable inside creation itself.

What would you stop defending, if you trusted the ground beneath it?

A new teaching, question, and dispatch surface here each day, rotating deterministically through the full corpus.
