    In the Gitait is stated that as man falls more and

    more deep in the pit of sin and darkness, his

    redemption and ascent to light by the incarnationof God also approaches nearer. God takes birth

    on earth when darkness reaches its utmost limit.

    The periods of transition when we are on thethreshold of a brighter world or the transformed

    world writes Jagdish Saran Agarwal, are always

    marked by the height of darkness and turmoil

    (62). Sri Aurobindo sings of the glorious descent

    of the Avatarain such a gloomy situation in the

    poem In the Moonlight:

    He rises now; for God has taken birth.

    The revolutions that pervade the world

    Are faint beginnings and the discushurled

    Of Vishnu speeds down to enring the

    earthThe old shall perish; it shall pass away,

    Expunged, annihilated, blotted out;

    And all the iron bands that ring about

    Mans wide expansion shall at last give

    way.

    Avatar Ordinary birth

    Is the incarnation of the Supreme

    in human form therefore

    omnipotent

    Is a soul manifesting on a human

    body as a part of the life-death

    cycle therefore has limited

    capacities

    Takes birth out of his own will Takes birth without any choice/will

    as per the law of Karma

    Not bound by Karma, all his

    actions are non-actions

    Bound by his Karma

    Knows his true self and identity

    and is a master of Yoga and prakriti

    Ignorant of his true identity and is

    under the control of maya

    Comes when the balance of

    dharma is lost on earth, comes

    with a specific purpose

    No specific purpose, unless

    commissioned by the divine. Aim of

    life is to unite with the divine

    Aware of past births, knows his

    future births

    Ignorant of past births, does not

    know about his future births

    Birth and activities are divine,

    beyond the gunas of Prakriti.

    Birth and activities follow

    Nature/Prakriti and the gunas at

    prakriti cause the Jiva to act.

    Pranayama and Sacrifice:The vital air in the heart is termed as Prana. The

    meaning of Yama is control.

    Therefore Pranayama is controlling the vital air.Controlling the vital air would in turn help in the

    control of the mind. It is a great tool in silencing the

    mind; which is a key step in God-realization.

    Any step that takes us closer to liberation can be

    termed as a sacrifice.

    E.g. Physical sacrifice: Puja, havan,

    Vital: Pranayama,Mental: Meditation, Study.
