The Spiritual Import of the Mahabharata and the Bhagavadgita : Ch-11. Part-18.
Chapter 11: God Present Within Us :
Part-18.
Today we are looking up with dazed eyes as to what is going to happen to us in the future, because we are always depending on the strength of our arms, the power of our understanding or intellect, the ratiocinating faculty minus the divine element in us.
Man minus God is a corpse, and a corpse cannot be expected to win any victory or achieve success.
So the divine incarnation here, symbolised in the form of Krishna or any form that God may take as an incarnation at any time in the history of the cosmos, not merely in the history of the earth, can be regarded as the finger of God operating in individual societies.
God creates the world and also takes care of it.
He is the Creator and also the Preserver, and He preserves the world that He has created by means of His incarnations.
The supreme excellences which you see manifested as great genius in this world can be also called divine incarnations, as we shall be told in the tenth chapter, for instance.
Anything in this world that is superb, magnificent and beyond the ordinary in power, in knowledge and in capacity of any kind should be regarded as a divine manifestation.
