Does Lord Datta, the first Energetic Incarnation of God behaves like an ordinary soul at any time?

[An online spiritual discussion was conducted on May 16, 2021, in which several devotees participated. Devotees’ questions answered by Swāmi are given below.]

[Śrī Anil Antony asked: When the unimaginable God and the first Energetic Incarnation merges with a selected devoted human being, a Human Incarnation results. As per Your knowledge, when the unimaginable God merges with an imaginable item, it results in an unimaginable item (Unimaginable + Imaginable = Unimaginable). The Human Incarnation sometimes behaves like a devotee and sometimes as God, exhibiting 2-in-1 system characteristics. Likewise, does the first Energetic Incarnation also exhibit such 2-in-1 characteristics at any time or does He always express the unimaginable state alone?]

Swāmi replied: The behaviour of any energetic or human incarnation is only the behaviour of the first energetic incarnation, which has entered the incarnation. Strictly speaking such behaviour belongs to the original unimaginable God only, who permanently merged with the first energetic incarnation. There are two purposes for God to behave like a devotee:- 1) Every incarnation of God behaves like an ideal devotee to show the ideal path for the devotee to become real devotee of God through real love. 2) When the incarnation behaves like a devotee, the excitation that rose by identifying the divine nature of incarnation in the devotees gets reduced so that the devotees move in the ground state with full freedom to ask all types of doubts frankly.
