[A spiritual conversation took place in Hyderabad on 23-08-2021 and was attended by a number of devotees. Some of the flashes of spiritual knowledge that were radiated from Śrī Datta Swami are given below for the benefit of the spiritual world.]
[A question Ms. Sruthi]
Swami replied: The actual God existing in the form of a dot is neither seen by anybody nor captured in the film of a camera directly. You are worshipping a photo of an artificial dot created by the photographer only. In such case, why not the statue of God be also worshipped in the same way because the worshipped photo of either God Rama or the dot are one and the same as far as the concept of worship of a representative model is concerned? If you oppose this concept, you have to not only leave the photo of Rama, but also the photo of your dot also. If you accept the concept that the unimaginable God is represented by a dot, you must also accept the statue of Rama as a representative model of the unimaginable God. Hence, either you accept the concept simultaneously accepting both the photos or reject the concept rejecting both photos. Similarly, regarding the concept of human incarnation, let us take the latest example of Shri Satya Sai Baba. He is creating anything by wave of hand. This can’t be done by all. You have failed to explain this miraculous power. Neither you explain nor you repeat that. You are in the most awkward position. If you are unable to repeat it, at least you have to accept the concept of human form of God. Hence, you shall become at least an honorable scientist who does not contradict the concept when he is unable to explain it. Don’t become a foolish atheist who neither explains the concept nor accepts the concept.
