Can we call Lord Datta as the Father of Trimurthis?

[Smt. Sudha Rani asked: Pādanamaskāraṃ Swāmi, 1. Thank you Swāmi for everything. In Christianity, the first Energetic incarnation is called as the Father in the Heaven. Even Trimūrtis come from Lord Datta. So, can we call Lord Datta as the father of Trimūrtis?]

Swāmi replied:- 1) Any incarnation of God Datta is God Datta Himself because God Datta is in another medium. God Datta Himself is a mediated God. A mediated God wearing another medium above the original medium is also the same mediated God. A person is wearing a shirt and then above that shirt, the same person wears a coat. Will you say that the person wearing shirt is the father of the person wearing coat above the shirt? Whether the person wears shirt or shirt and coat, the person is the same person himself. Such person can be the father of his children. Hence, the Father of heaven is the Father of all the souls. When every incarnation be it energetic or human, itself is God Datta and the same concept applies to the three divine forms or the three primary energetic incarnations (Trimūrtis) in the same way. In the case of these three primary energetic incarnations, a special point also exists. The three programmes done by God Datta (Creation, maintenance and destruction of the world) are done by these three Divine forms individually, which means that God Brahmā creates, God Viṣṇu maintains and God Śiva destroys this world.

 Due to this special point, we can consider God Datta Himself being split into these forms. Such a thought is only an assumption because the same God Datta exists totally in each of these three Divine forms. In Christianity, Jesus, the human incarnation of Father of heaven (God Datta) is called as the son of God. This is again an assumption only so that when the consciousness of the human devotee does not agree to treat Jesus Himself as God or Father of heaven, the word “Son of God” is used. In fact, every incarnation is equal to any other incarnation because the same unimaginable God or Father of heaven exists in every incarnation with the same quality and quantity of power like omniscience and omnipotence. The possessed power by God is one and the same in every incarnation. Only the expressed power of God differs from one incarnation to the other since the programme of one incarnation is different from the programme of other incarnation. As per the requirement of the programme, the expressed power varies because God does not like to express His full power other than required for the programme to project Himself like a demon. Due to the difference in the observed expressed power, the human devotees often are subjected to illusion that one incarnation is lesser than the other incarnation.

Qualitative and quantitative unity shall be seen by every devotee in every incarnation. A professor expresses his high knowledge in teaching PG class and the same professor expresses very low knowledge in teaching LKG class. The professor is one and the same person in both the classes. The possessed knowledge by the professor is one and the same and the expressed knowledge only differed as per the requirement of the standard of the class.
