I was with a Sai brother today who was musing on the future of the Organization post the Passing on. He surmised that the name of the Avatar would increase steadily, if not exponentially. After all, the worship of the Christ only increased after His transition.
But how does that mean well for those of us seemingly left astray in spiritual terms? For starters, it's a reminder that the body is but a vestment, and that we should continue to inhabit it, without making a habit of becoming it. The vestment has to be shed at some point. More importantly, the crusade of the spirit has to continue in ever greater intensity. The legacy that we have established through births unknown and merit un-gauged should constitute the lodestone of our spiritual energy for His work. Of the next Avatar, we may not know and should not dwell upon. But of the one that we have been Blessed to associate with, we have our own personal experiences to enrich our lives. And our experiences should become the torch that lights the path of faith of those near and dear ones who have either not seen, not believed, or both.
Like they say, blessed is he who has seen and believed. But greater is he who has not seen, yet believes. Even greater is he who will pave the way for your belief.
