The Avathaars all play a drama, within the drama of this universe. You
say that Raama 'wept' for Seetha; but, how can an ant judge the depth of the
sea? Raama was the greatest hero in history; he killed the 14,000 Raakshasas
led by Khara, Dhushaasana and Thrisiras, all by Himself! Every Raakshasa beheld
in every neighbouring Raakshasa a Raama; and, full of fury, he slew the Raama
and was killed in turn by his neighbour. The Avathaara behaves in a human way
so that mankind can feel kinship, but, rises to super-human heights so that
mankind can aspire to those heights.
- From Bhagawan's Divine Discourse on 10th Feb 1963.
