“The Upanishads have minutely classified every stage of spiritual advancement: - Jivanmukta ("freed while living") - a siddha ("perfected being") has progressed from the state of jivanmukta ("freed while living") to that of: - a paramukta ("supremely free" - full power over death); the latter has completely escaped from the mayic thralldom and its reincarnational round. The paramukta therefore seldom returns to a physical body; if he does return, he is: - an avatar, a divinely appointed medium of supernal blessings on the world. An avatar is unsubject to the universal economy; his pure body, visible as a light image, is free from any debt to Nature. The casual gaze may see nothing extraordinary in an avatar's form; but, on occasion, it casts no shadow nor make any footprint on the ground. These are outward symbolic proofs of an inward freedom from darkness and material bondage. [...] Krishna, Rama, Buddha and Patanjali were among the ancient Indian avatars. [...] Agastya, a South Indian avatar. - Mahavatar (Great Avatar) - Babaji's mission in India has been to assist prophets in carrying out their special dispensations. He thus qualifies for the scriptural classification of Mahavatar (Great Avatar). [...] Babaji is ever in communion with Christ; together they send out vibrations of redemption and have planned the spiritual technique of salvation for this age. The work of these two fully illumined masters is to inspire the nations to forsake wars, race, hatreds, religious sectarianism, and the boomerang evils of materialism.[...] Only one reason motivates Babaji in maintaining his physical form from century to century: the desire to furnish humanity wit ha concrete example of its own possibilities. Were man never vouchsafed a glumpse of Divinity in the flesh, he would remain oppressed by the heavy mayic delusion that he cannot transcend his mortality. - pg305-310, Chapter 33, Babaji, Yogi-Christ of Modern India”

“The Gnani Purush does not have any culmination in worldly life (sansaar-parinati) even for a moment, nor does He have any worldly intent (sansaar bhaav). He is in the natural state of the Self (nijparinati) and in the intent as the absolute Self (swabhaav-bhaav).”

“There is only this much difference between a Gnani (the one who is Self-realized) and an agnani (one without Self-realization). The Gnani is constantly in the natural state of the Self (Swa-parinati) and the agnani cannot remain in the natural state of the Self even for a moment. There is no other difference. The Gnani does not have any horns, He wears clothes too; the only difference is in the parinaam (result; internal state of being)!”

“Dehadhyas (the belief that ‘I am the body’) does not leave without [the grace of] the Gnani Purush (the Self-realized One, who can help others realize the Self). The Gnani Purush is vitaraag (one who is free from all attachment). He constantly remains in Swa-parinati (the natural state of the Self). The Gnani Purush does not remain [engrossed] in the body, mind, intellect or ego. That is why only the Gnani Purush can free us from our belief that 'I am the body.”

“Dehadhyas (the belief that, 'I am the body') and Atmadhyan (internal state that results in the constant awareness of ‘I am pure Soul’) are as opposite as north and south! One becomes free of dehadhyas by the same proportion that one's Atmadhyan manifests.”

“The moment the link between the meditator (dhyata) and the object of meditation (dhyeya) is connected, it is known as meditation (dhyan). When the link breaks, the meditation breaks. Meditating upon the living Gnani Purush (enlightened One) is known as visualization (nididhyasan) while meditating upon an idol (murti) is concentration!”
