[Ms. Laxmi Thrylokya asked:- Swami, You mentioned that God and human devotee components shift their states in human incarnation (while answering the question asked by Bharat). Please explain this more clearly.]
Swami replied:- Human incarnation results when unimaginable God merges with imaginable devoted soul selected by God for the sake of some important work to be done in the world for the welfare of the souls. The process of the merge of unimaginable item with an imaginable item is also unimaginable. Only the process between two imaginable items existing in this imaginable creation is imaginable. For example, gold and copper are imaginable items. Both these metals merge homogenously to form a solid solution, which looks like one item (gold), but when viewed through microscope, both metals appear as different atoms. This means the merge to become one item is only external, but, the merge internally reveals that both these imaginable items did not become one item in the actual sense. This state (externally as one item, but, internally as two items) exists for anybody as the constant uniform single state. Regarding the case of unimaginable God merging with imaginable soul, the process of merge is unimaginable due to the omnipotence of God.
The human incarnation will appear simultaneously to different human beings in three states:- 1) As 100 % God if the devotee is with 100% faith. 2) As mixture of God and human soul in various proportions like solid solution of gold and copper according to various proportions of faith and doubt of the devotee and 3) As 100% human soul if the devotee has no faith. Krishna appeared in these three states simultaneously to Vidura, Dhrutaraashtra and Duryodhana in the same time while giving cosmic vision in the court. Since devotees like Vidura are very very rare, I mentioned the second and third states only in the view of majority of devotees, who have partial faith or no faith. The first state is Monism of Shankara, the second state is inseparable dualism (like gold and copper in solid solution) of Ramanuja and the third state is separable dualism (like two different blocks of gold and copper). This is told in the Gita that God results as per the view of the devotee (ye yathā mām…). Based on the worldly logic of imaginable items existing in the imaginable creation, we shall not discuss the state of unimaginable and omnipotent God.
