Does the soul component of the Incarnation of God have a separate identity apart from Lord Datta?

[Shri Bharath Krishna asked: Padanamskaram Swami, Thank You for being with me and continuously guiding me with infinite amount of love and patience. I have the following few questions, kindly answer these for me Swami.

Shri Krishna was able to enjoy the Devotion of Radhamma, actually He was mad for Her Devotion. Shri Rama enjoyed the Devotion of Lord Hanuman who behaved as His Servant. Even now You saw Shri Satya Sai Baba as a different person although both of You are actually only one i.e., Lord Datta. Baba appeared in a real Human form before You and asked You to propagate knowledge and You were responding as if You were an ordinary devotee. So, based on these examples, I have got the following questions.

a) Does the ordinary soul component of a Human Incarnation of God has a separate identity apart from Lord Datta Who is exisitng in His body? Or is it like the Soul component is in total deep sleep condition because God stays in it from the birth, in a Paripurna Tamavatara? In such deep sleep there is no identity right?

b) If it is possible to be entertained and also get mad seeing the devotion of such other Human Incarnations of You, who were playing the roles of an ordinary Devotee, what was the need to create the ordinary souls Swami? Kindly help me understand.]

Swami replied:- God created the souls for His entertainment and in this there is no trace of doubt. But, at the same time, justice was always supported and injustice was always destroyed by Him. Based on this merit, the souls can’t find fault or blame God in any angle. In order to convince the egoistic and jealousy souls, several incarnations play several scenes. Parashurama, Rama and Hanuman were the incarnations of the same God playing different roles for the convenience of the devotees. Parashurama played the role of false human incarnation and Rama played the role of perfect human incarnation. Hanuman played the role of servant to human form of God to stand as an example for a true devotee. All these scenes are very much essential to learn the true concepts of spiritual knowledge.
