Your Good Fortune Has Brought You Face To Face With Me
It serves no purpose if you merely acknowledge that the Lord has come but do not yearn to benefit by the Advent. In the previous ages, in what was called Krita, treta and Dwapara yugas (each yuga or Age being a long cycle of time period in Hindu mythology), the Incarnations of the Lord were not accepted as such by many. Even their parents, kinsmen, and comrades hesitated to adore them. Only a few sages, who had cultivated the inner vision through study and sadhana, knew their reality.
But today, in this Kali yuga, while the currents of contradiction and controversy are undermining faith and adoration, the good fortune that has brought you face to face with Me is something for which you must thank your merit won through many lives. This is no ordinary good fortune. This incarnation is moving with you, your joys and grief in order to console, encourage and cure. This relationship is something unique; it has to be kept unbroken until the goal is reached.
