[Ms. Laxmi Thrylokya asked: Pādanamaskāraṃ Swāmi, While explaining the two component system of human incarnation of God, You narrated an incident where Lord Kṛṣṇa preached Anu Gītā which wasn't Prajñānam. The incident reveals that it was the God component in Kṛṣṇa who preached Bhagavad Gītā and it was the human component of Kṛṣṇa who preached Anu Gītā. Taking this same example, some people are claiming that Kṛṣṇa was God while preaching Gītā and performing miracles and Kṛṣṇa was just a human being rest of the time. Kindly enlighten us about this. At Your divine lotus feet, Laxmi Thrylokya]
Swāmi Replied:- The human being component preached Anu Gītā and God component preached the Bhagavad Gītā. Kṛṣṇa was human incarnation, meaning that He is God only due to the perfect merge of God. He acted as a human being in the role of human being by preaching Anu Gītā. The aim of Kṛṣṇa is to focus the concept that the human being or a false human incarnation can preach Anu Gītā only and not the Bhagavad Gītā. By this, the devotee can distinguish the real human incarnation from false human incarnation with the help of the excellent spiritual knowledge. Even a false human incarnation or a demon can perform miracles, which alone should not be the identification. One may perform miracles and may show extreme false love and these two alone can’t decide the reality of human incarnation. The real identity of God is the excellent true spiritual knowledge clarifying infinite number of doubts (Satyaṃ jñānam anantam Brahma, Prajñānam Brahma - Veda). The importance of true excellent spiritual knowledge is to show the true direction of the true path to reach the true goal. Only God can do this perfectly as said in the Gītā (Jñānītvātmaiva me matam…- Gītā). A false incarnation can’t show the true path because he is interested in projecting his power through miracles and aspiring fame through exhibition of excess of love. Knowledge is for the sake of others and not for the sake of God. The selfish less God alone can give the correct spiritual knowledge.
