The World Teacher. Advent of Lord Krishna

Short Description:

An Avatar is the descent of the Omnipresent One, to be one with the beings. He descends to uphold the law and to establish the law in the beings. Among such Avatars the Avatar of Krishna is considered full and complete, not only by the Puranas and Itihasas but also by the acts of the Lord as Krishna. The wheel of light that emerged from him has been piercing through the envelope of darkness that dawned around him during his time and the present times. The actual incidents in the story of such a “World Teacher” have taken to the form of this book.

Extract Chapter 12

Vidura: If people feel angry, it adds to the diabolic behaviour. Helping others and working for the welfare of others, is the only way to liberation. Even to save oneself, there is no better method. Among ten grass houses, if one catches fire, what should be the behaviour of the people of the other houses? They should help extinguishing the fire of the tenth house. If not, they lose their houses. This is the nature of true law. At least to save their own houses, they should help the people of the burning house. Whether willingly or unwillingly one should follow the Law. One who wants self-protection should follow the Law whether willingly or unwillingly. For those who are willing, the Law appears as Lord Narayana. For those who are not willing, it appears like Yama, the Lord of divine dispensation. The Law raises its head like a cobra against those who oppose it. It gives its sting to those who neglect and allow injustice. Such a Law is being ignored by the civilians nowadays. The result is that the rulers have turned out to be diabolics and they are plundering the public. The path of Law is very subtle and difficult to understand. In such times, Lord Narayana, the Indweller of beings manifests himself as an Avatar.

Haridas: Anyone can claim any day that he is the incarnation of the World Teacher.
Anyone may deceive the people. How to recognize the real World Teacher and save oneself from being deceived? What are the real signs to identify The World Teacher?

Vidura: No one need try hard to recognize The World Teacher. He requires no recognition. Moreover, His activity makes people gradually recognize Him whether they accept Him or not. Our duty is to try to know what is expected of us. It is enough if we realise our work in action. Those who ignore their duties towards their fellow beings and live in sweet expectations of recognising The World Teacher, they are defeated. They live as the advertising agents or mouth pieces of others. Their energies and life span are wasted. It amounts to self-deception, if someone expects that The World Teacher should come down to Earth according to their pious expectations, to do everything for them, to grant bread and butter and to confer salvation upon them. Those who expect God as a servant, who washes out their sins at will, know how to bribe God in the name of worship and thereby deceive themselves and others. The World Teacher cannot be seen by them though He is there with them. One should rectify the individual life and the personal element so that he may not be troublesome to himself or others. Then he should try to understand what he is expected to do to his neighbour, friend and relative. Only such a one can recognise The World Teacher and His plan. Others see in Him only an ordinary human being, like themselves. This is the Law as understood by the Lord's servant, Vidura.

May the rulers rule according to the Law.
May the people live a healthy and positive life.
May cattle and wise people be honoured.
May all the planes of existence be at peace.
