Psychological interpretation

The ideal man is always seeking a new incarnation, but unless we ourselves offer him human parentage he cannot be born: we are the means by which nature is to be redeemed from the law of cruelty by imaginative love, and to decline the burden, pointing to natural law, nullifies the purpose of our lives. Our highest ideals do not bless until they come down and take on flesh; incarnation is the only true realization.
