*As for the Avatarhood , I accept Rama because he fills a place in the scheme –and seems to me to fill it rightly-and because when I read the Ramayana I feel a greater afflatus which I recognise and which makes of its story- mere faery-tale though it seems-a parable of a great critical transitional event that happened in the terrestrial evolution and gives to the main character’s personality and action a significance of the large typical cosmic kind which these actions would not have had if they had been done by another man in another scheme of events.
[Letters on Yoga-page 414]
