The Advent & acts of the Incarnation - 4-9
1 Gita Sloka every day - Chapter 4 -JnanaKarmaSanyasa Yoga - Sloka 6
Ajah api san avyayatma bhutanam ishwarah api san I
Prakritim svam adhisthaya sambhavami atmamayaya II sloka 6
अजः अपि सं अव्ययात्मा भूतानां इश्वरह् अपि सं ।
प्रकृतिं स्वं अधिष्ठाय संभवामि आत्ममायया ।। श्लोक ६
Though I am unborn, imperishable and the lord of beings, yet subjugating My Prakriti, I come into being by My own Maya
Prakriti or Maya shakthi has her part to play both with the jivatman and with the incarnations of iswara, but her function with these two entities is on diametrically opposite bases. She enslaves the former and is enslaved by the latter. It is by manipulating His maya shakthi that the unborn lord puts on the appearance of being born and of growing. The One supremely above karma apparently assumes it. That karma again is not capricious. The collective karma of the society as it ought to be, gets itself embodied in the Incarnation. He does not stand in need of making any experiments with the various factors of life. His advent simply explains the sublime plan and purpose of himan life. He is the benign model to be followed by the others.
Everything in nature has its time to appear. Does the Incarnation of God also come under this law in any way? The answer comes in the next sloka.
