Dear Bhagavatars Permit me to express my ignorance openly so that i stand to gain from all the Bhagavatars. The Acharya says at a later stage in Geeta, "We had many births Arjuna. The difference is that you do not remember any whereas I have forgotten none" or to that effect. Thus the cycle of birth and death is inevitable and fulfils the actual scheme of things. Given that this is the Eternal Grand Scheme, the only Liberation we can seek is from the `jantur janma' by practicing a suitable `japan' to gain freedom from `samsaara bandhanaat' that otherwise lowers the status of the present life. This samsaara bhandanat is not limited to a particular single episode of the ever repeating gross life and death cycle but attachment to ignorance even as one's physical world is crumbling and disintegrating. I am also reminded of how in this Eternal Scheme, no life form is low or mean as revealed by the many forms the Devotees assume (Gajendra for example) and as does The Redeemer ( the various Avataarams for example). So also the our acharya is no other than the representation of The Acharya even if we fail to see Sankhu, Chakra, Gadha and Padma adoring the representative acharya in physical shape and form. Submitting to a Guru is submitting to the ONE whom the Guru represents. Finally, an unliberated man is an animal and a liberated animal is a Bhagavataar.
