God doesn't like self-imposed slavery but what about self-imposed ignorance by human incarnation of God?

[Shri Kishore Ram asked: Pādanamaskāraṃ Swāmiji. In Your recent answer to Nitin's question on the slavery of God, You explained the difference between self-imposed slavery and self-desired slavery. Self-imposed slavery is out of force and it is against one's desire whereas self-desired slavery is natural and is as per the desire of one self. But in the case of Human Incarnation, God self-imposed ignorance upon Himself based on the circumstances. In this case, the self-imposition of ignorance is against the desire of God? Because self-imposed means it is against the desire of oneself. Request Your clarification on this. Your servant, kishore ram]

Swāmi Replied:- When one becomes a slave to smoking and drinking, it is not self-imposed slavery. The person became slave to smoking and drinking due to the attraction towards those two habits. In this case, he imposes self-resistance on himself towards those two habits. Sometimes, a person becomes slave to another person due to external forces like inability to clear loan etc. In any case, self-imposed slavery does not exist. There may be self-imposed resistance to self-slavery. Every soul tries to have full freedom and not to have slavery to somebody else. In the word “self-imposed slavery”, if you take the meaning of the word self as some other soul other than one’s own self; such concept is possible in a case like when somebody else sells a boy to some rich man to do slavery. Here, the slavery is not imposed by the self of the boy, but, is imposed by the self of the seller of the boy. Hence, self-imposed slavery is not possible. Self-desired slavery is possible because such slavery is due to full desire of the self itself and not due to any imposition from inside or from outside. Such self-desired slavery is due to climax of real love in which the self has full freedom to take such decision. In reality, in such state, the soul has every freedom to come out of such self-desired slavery. In such slavery, there is no imposition at all. In the slavery towards smoking and drinking, the soul is unable to come out of the slavery even though the slave does not like to continue the slavery to smoking and drinking. But, in this slavery to God, the soul never thinks to come out of the divine slavery. In the 9 forms of devotion, 7^th form is slavery (Dāsyam).
