How can our devotion be constant when God exhibits different qualities in different incarnations?

[Ms. Thrylokya asked: Swāmi, You taught us that our attraction towards God must only be due to His divine personality. But God wears different qualities in different incarnations at different times. Each time God incarnates, a different personality is exhibited. How can our devotion be constant when God is so unpredictable? Kindly enlighten us.]

Swāmi Replied:- The variation in the personality of God is only the variation in the divine good qualities. We can enjoy different forms of the same sweet material. That brings the totality (Pūrṇatvam) of our capacity of taste. The first stage is to select a specific sweet only and enjoy it. The second stage is to select all types of sweets and enjoy them as single sweet. Sometimes, sweet is not available and only a hot dish is available. If you are hungry, you will enjoy that hot dish also and this is the third stage. In the fourth stage, you will enjoy all types of hot dishes because you are hungry. A sweet dish is enjoyed by anybody, who is not hungry also. But, a hot dish is also enjoyed like sweet dish if one is very hungry. The intensity of hunger can be tested by offering sweet or hot dish. If the hunger is normal, sweet dish is offered. If the hunger is extreme, hot dish is offered. The intensity of the hunger is the intensity of the devotion to God. Rāma is a sweet dish whereas Kṛṣṇa is a hot dish.
