All the knowledge, experiences and achievements of humanity so far are just the preparation for the New Manifestation which the Mother and Sri Aurobindo brought into the earth consciousness. The advent of this New Consciousness is impelling many receptive and ready souls and they feel the pressure of it. Whatever path we follow, the goal of humanity is sealed and sooner or later it is going to happen. What is needed from our side is a conscious and willing participation in the New Manifestation rather than being unconsciously moved by it.
An Avatar is not at all bound to be a spiritual prophet — he is never in fact merely a prophet, he is a realiser, an establisher.
