Question: What is the difference between the exterior and interior work of the Avatar?
Answer: “His interior work is executed for the good of humanity by the means of his spiritual body and Divine will—on the spiritual and the subtle planes directly, or through the intermediary of His agents. The exterior work is accomplished through His physical body by personal contact with individuals. By passing through different countries He turns their minds towards spirituality; He enhances their progression towards the subtle planes and from these towards the spiritual planes.”
