Divine mission, and why ?

What do you think would be the true DIVINE-MISSION of any true divine guru, if it is preasent on this earth ?

Well.. this question is just about the guess of DIVINE-MISSION, and Why ? :)

I would like you to define "Divine Mission" without reference to a god or gods. Thanks.

To inspire people to be better people. :)

Exactly like what Odion said, but our conception of better will appear different :D

Suppose this happened. The whole world got inspired and became better and good. But one day that person will die and now slowely again the whole world will start changing from good to bad. So what's the use of doing all this, if such situation cannot stay for ever/permanent ?

So i don't think this would be the mission ? :)

To bring each individual they meet that comes under their care one step closer to moksha.

The satgurus teachings can be written down, but I expect maybe another one will have to come along in time.

So you mean that their mission is only MOKSHA ? Nothing else..
What if anybody doesn't want any MOKSHA, Do they give it forcefully to each individual they meet ? :)

What and where: Unfortunately, no one can be told that. Except indirectly through metaphor and symbol. They have to see it for themselves.
Firstly.. why are you telling me all this ?
Secondly.. If it is so, than what's the use of your answer ? people will know all this themselves when needed.

Thus.. its better to not to give any reply. As per your given reply, your reply is also useless. :)

Am just thinking that if you are so wise, than why you given the reply..?

I think when God created this particular universe (I've been spaced out, but I can't speak on other universes :D) He instilled the physical laws. One of them is entropy, the second law of thermodynamics. Things want to go from orderly to disorderly.

Therefore:

"Whenever and wherever there is a decline in religious practice, O descendant of Bharata, and a predominant rise of irreligion -- at that time I descend Myself." Bhagavad Gita 4.7

"For the protection of the good, for the destruction of the wicked, and for the establishment of Dharma, I am born from age to age." Bhagavad Gita 4.8

Because the universe is bound by the second law of thermodynamics, i.e. entropy, God appears again and again to re-establish order. Why did God make such a flaky universe? Creation is His play, His recreation, according to Adi Shankaracharya.
