The Meaning Of The Kalki Avatar
by Sri Aurobindo Mahatma

 

A cosmic avatar, such as the predicted Kalki Avatar, is not bound to be a spiritual prophet or a leader of a social movement.  He comes as an effective divine realizer, an extraordinary establisher, and not just of certain outward things, but of something essential and radical needed for the possibility of terrestrial evolution of the embodied causal souls through a progressive inner development in successive stages toward the Divine and a Divine Life on Earth.

 

We can expect two things of our coming Kalki Avatar:

 

1-     The bringing in of an unstoppable Cosmic Military Force that will destroy the grip of Evil Rulership on the Earth.

2-     A huge new boost to Yoga that will coordinate the essence of the world’s best Ways of spiritual development in a universal and cosmic formulation which will include some unusual new means of transmission of spiritual truth.

    

If the coming Avatar were not to effectuate both of these things:  One for the placing of collective immature humanity on a better cosmic course and the other for assisting the tiny minority of correctly aspiring or mature human individuals in their realization of the Divine directly and personally in themselves and their physical bodies, what would be the point?
