Sir,avatar means a divine ascent or descent either from the pata-loka or from the 27 nakshatra constellations or it could be from navagrahams actually 7 grahams or different galaxy or solar system or...vaikundam or kailasham...heaven...etc
We all are divine and we all have the same potential of becoming swayam bhagavan.Only few people realise this or work towards acheiving moksha arthartham,based on their gunam,varnam ,jadhi,sankalpam,smaranam...Some are born with avatric abilities with no effort on their part owing to purva janma vasanams and some keep doing sadhanams to acheive liberation from birth and death of this material body and samskaram.
Bhagavan is all pervading and limitless and infinite.But in order for humans to believe and understand,bhagavan takes avataram swaroopam,to show us the path towards liberation.When we surrender ourselves to bhagavan as sranagathi,the praptham of moksham,is given to us by bhagavan,within whom the entire jagath is contained.
Aham brahmasmi,as taught by gurus to me,'we are not deham but punya-atmam' to attain punya-padukam of bhagavan or param-brahmam,sir.
THank you.

There is a small difference.Aham Brhmaasmi denotes that Brahmam is a common thread in everybody.Nobody can claim exclusivity to it.The so called modern Gurus ,I am not referring to any individual proclaim that only they are the avatars etc.In Shatpadi stotram,Adisankara has simply explained the concept that many waves and tides constitute the Ocean,but Ocean is not a tide or a wave.Similarly He extols Bhagawan that He belongs to Bhagawan and and not otherwise,because Bhagawan is infinite and cannot be restricted to any individual.
Coming to Avatars,if we go according to scripures there cannot be any avatars now of Mahavishnu,some Upasakas may be having abundant grace of God,but cannot be extolled as Avatars
