Conversations with Sai - The 16 Factors of the Avatar

 

A Visitor: What are the 16 points of the Avatar?  I have asked and nobody knows.

Sai: The difference between man and Avatar?  Man experiences the 15 factors, but he is not their master.  They go their own ways.  As control starts to be gained, man comes closer to the 16th, the all-knowing Paramatma (supreme self).

The five working organs have to do with talking, taking, walking, rejecting (excretion) and eating.  The five sense organs: hearing, touch, sight, taste, smell.  The five elements: earth, water, fire, air, space.  The 16th factor is the all-knowing Paramatma.
