How Can We Preach Divine Knowledge to the Doubting Public?

O Learned and Devoted Servants of God,

[Q. How to tell people divine knowledge when they find everything nonsense? People are ready to believe in energetic forms and not incarnations due to the presence of fraud Gurus. If I tell about You Swamiji they will make fun of me and may say I am falling prey to a false guru and should only believe in energetic forms. I have no problem if people make fun of me but if anyone says anything about You I cannot stand it. Because of this fear, I am unable to disclose to even my parents/in-laws. Please guide. (This question is part of a Mahā Satsaṅga or grand spiritual discussion between Swami, Shri Parikshit, Smt. Bindiya and Dr. J. S. R. Prasad.)]

Swami replied:- There is a fundamental mistake in your approach to the devoted public. First of all, you shall establish the importance of contemporary human incarnation (without referring any name), which is more relevant to humanity than the energetic incarnation, which is relevant to the upper world consisting of energetic beings only. You shall say that Hanuman reached the highest goal by worshipping Rama and Radha reached highest goal by worshipping Krishna. Rama and Krishna were neither energetic incarnations (like God Vishnu, God Shiva etc.) nor past human incarnations. Then, you shall say that human incarnation shall be recognized by excellent knowledge that gives correct direction to the souls by showing the excellent spiritual knowledge of the specific human incarnation. You shall also say that miraculous power is not the deciding identity because demons also perform miracles. Then, you must recommend the study of the knowledge of the contemporary human incarnation about which you have firm belief. Then, after reading that knowledge, those devotees will become the devotee of the contemporary human incarnation believed by you. If you introduce your contemporary human incarnation through a miracle that happened in your case, those devotees also have the experience of miracles with other people also, who might have been demons. Hence the unique excellent spiritual knowledge must be the identity mark and not a miracle. Ofcourse, the energetic incarnations are believed by all devotees. The specialty in the human incarnation is that you can see, talk and clarify your doubts and this benefit is not with energetic incarnations. You cannot see them so easily because they are irrelevant to humanity. Even if they appear due to your long and severe penance, the appearance is only for few minutes because of their irrelevance to humanity. You shall ask the devotees that whether they are greater than Hanuman and Radha, who worshipped only contemporary human incarnations and reached the highest fruit!
