[An online spiritual discussion was conducted on October 5, 2020, in which several devotees participated. Some of the questions of devotees answered by Swāmi are given below.]
Swāmi replied: The only possible experience of the non-mediated unimaginable God can be the experience of His existence. Through unimaginable events called miracles, the existence of the unimaginable God can be experienced. But miracles can also be done by demons. Hence, apart from miracles, God can be experienced through His unimaginable spiritual knowledge and His unimaginable love for devotees. The mediated God, especially the contemporary Human Incarnation, can be fully experienced by human beings. Similarly, the Energetic Incarnation can be experienced by energetic beings in the upper worlds. The complete and continuous experience of God for human beings is available only from the contemporary Human Incarnation.
Illusions can be removed by the excellent spiritual knowledge of the contemporary Human Incarnation of God. Illusions are caused by ignorance and the knowledge from God removes the ignorance by which all illusions disappear.
