Talk:Cause of Rebirth:Divine or Saintly Command
From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia
The fifth is the command of a saint or Bhagavān to an ātmā to be reborn for a specific purpose. At the command of Bhagavān, saints take upon a physical form relinquishing their state of Moksha so that they can do good to humanity suffering in this Samsāra. For example, a Rishi Apantaratamas was born at the Divine command several thousand years ago to reveal the Vedas when they had been lost. Rishi Sanatkumāra was likewise reborn as Skanda.
