But God is infinite and incomprehensible. Noone can see God without being <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> same infinitenature as God. We are finite, and so we cannot seeGod. But God is love. He is also <strong>the</strong> source <strong>of</strong> ourcraving to know and love him. Out <strong>of</strong> this love Godtook on a form that is comprehensible to us mortalbeings. Through this act <strong>of</strong> love we can now sharein <strong>the</strong> joy <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> angels by seeing and knowing Goddirectly. This is why <strong>the</strong> Master said: “Whoever hasseen me has seen <strong>the</strong> Fa<strong>the</strong>r.”God knows well <strong>the</strong> inner state <strong>of</strong> every humanbeing and reveals himself to each heart in accordancewith its needs. There is no better way for a personto enter true spiritual life than by encountering God63• avatara • incarnation
