In article <3g42pi$kg0@ucunix.san.uc.edu>, vijaypai@kachori.rice.edu (Vijay Sadananda Pai) says:
>the Vedas. Not just any Tom, Dick, & Harry can claim to be an avatar
>of God. There are precise Vedic statements about avatar:
In which scriptures can you find these (I am sincerely interrested)
>... and so forth. Please provide such evidences.
Every evidence finally relies on perception and cognition. You have to trust
your senses, your own existence etc, etc. In the end (IMHO) only Your
Self, your hearth, that can decide if a person walking this earth is an Avatar. This is
the challenge - dragging your ego to a level of trust where you can surrender to
Brahman/Atman/Guru/Avatar, still keeping your critical judgment. One should not I think
surrender to mere words and scriptural "authorities".
