Talk 308.

A question was asked regarding untouchability. Sri Bhagavan said: The Non-self is untouchable. The social untouchability is man-made, whereas the other untouchability is natural and divine.

D.: Should the untouchables be allowed into our temples?
M.: There are others to decide it.

A question was asked regarding the avatars of Vishnu.

M.: Let us know our own avatara; the knowledge of the other avataras

will follow. Again there was a question on Isvara.

M.: Existence of Isvara ^{[?] [?]} follows from our conception of Isvara.

Let us first know whose concept He is. The concept will be only according to the one who conceives. Find out who you are and the other problem will solve itself.
