The Avatar and Humanity [3]

Avatars can of course be married and satisfy their vital movements. But do they really indulge them as ordinary people? Don’t they even before they begin the practice of Yoga, remain conscious of their union with the Divine above even while satisfying their outer being?

There is not necessarily any union above before the practice of Yoga. There is a connection of the consciousness with the veiled Divinity and an action out of that, but this is not dependent on the practice of Yoga.
