Sathya Sai Baba The World-Avatar Teaching and Revelations

ti) has come, all together, in one human form; your endeavour should
be to draw near and earn grace therefrom. 28.7.67, (20-70/74)
The incarnations of God have always fulfilled their tasks. Spiritual law
has always been restored, in full. What they re-established on firm
foundations is truth. For, as the Vedas announce, there is no spiritual
discipline higher than truth. Truth gets hidden, appears distorted, is declared
as failing; so, the Avatar asserts its validity and value, once
again. God wears truth; the good seek truth; the bad are rescued by
truth. Truth liberates; truth is power; truth is freedom. It is the lamp that
illumines the heart and dispels doubt and darkness. The effulgence of
God is truth. Welcome God in your heart. Instal him there as a result

only by experience. The Avatar has no wants; It has no egoism.
It is ever alone in the Brahman state.
The Avatar appears as any other human being, equipped with body,
senses, mind etc. But, consider the vast difference in thoughts, feelings,
emotions etc. The Avatar is the total, the All-Comprehensive. The
human is nought, narrow, negative. But, in the human, the Divine exists
as the core and can manifest as bliss. You pay all attention to the
external trappings of knowledge; you do not transform the deeper instincts
and impulses inherited from animal ancestors.
This is the reason why God assumes the Avatar form and decides to
award mankind the power to discriminate between right and wrong,
between truth and falsehood. The Avatar does it through precept and
example. The scriptures teach life is unfortunately short. So, the
Bhagavadgita advises man to appreciate three facts:
