On the occasion of Bhagawan's sixtieth birthday, He began His discourse with a poem in which He declared His avataric advent as the continuation of all the earlier Avatars from Narasimha to Sri Krishna. Below is the poem.. "He alone is a real man Whose thought, words and deeds Are in perfect harmony. How can he be a genuine man When his mind is divorced from speech and deed And all three are not in harmony? If birth, old age and death don't happen, If desires don't fail and gain isn't lost If the world isn't the fleeting flow it is, How could man have affection, compassion, love? The attributes and qualities which were assumed When, to save Prahlada, the Supreme Person came; The attributes and qualities which were assumed When, to save the elephant, the Lotus-eyed came; The attributes and qualities which were assumed When, to save the poor Kuchela the Lord of Veda came; The attributes and quashes which were assumed When, to save the boy, Dhruva, He came from Heaven; Now, with all the attributes, all the qualities has come, He whom the gods adore, the Refuge of the Rejected. The Lord of all the worlds, the Lord of Infinite Glory, As all Existence, as all Knowledge and All Bliss in one Form embodied As Puttaparthi Sathya Sai, the Over-lord of all that Is." - taken from Swami's 60th Birthday Discourse ....23rd November 1985.
