(Vision of Incarnation of Datta)

Disciple of Datta (Datta Swami) spoke:-

What is meant by charging and incarnation? How can I see Your original nature? In this world, all items are doing works by spending their own energy. You might be doing works above this world. How can You say that You are doing all the works?
If You say that You are doing all the works, You must enjoy the fruits of all the works. If You say that You are alone the awareness and the whole world is inert, why the living beings alone are thinking and not other inert objects? How the awareness is the inert energy itself?

God-preacher Shri Datta spoke:-

I come down in to this world through incarnation with the main purpose to encourage justice and control injustice. I can enter and merge with any item of the world and this is the meaning of charging. After finishing the work, generally I quit the item, which will be leftover with its original nature. I charged the sage Parashurama to kill the egoistic kings. After the work, I left him. He thought that he did the work and hence, got insulted by Rama. Rama never got ego and hence, I never left Him. For this reason, He was called as complete incarnation (Purnaavatara), which means that I stayed in Him throughout His life. I am giving the basic energy to You since I the creator of energy. But, You are directing that energy in specific way and hence, You have to enjoy the fruit of the work done by You. I have supplied the electricity to Your house and I am not responsible for Your use to enjoy TV or to touch the electrified wire and commits suicide using the same current! The fruit of My creation work is entertainment only, which alone reaches Me. I become Your vehicle and hence, I am the doer of Your work. The fruit is related to the direction of work and not to the work. If You go to the forest, You are robbed by robbers. If You go to a city to Your relatives, You are happy. In both, vehicle and work of going are one and the same, but, fruits are different due to difference in the directions of work.
If a ray of My (mediated God as energetic incarnation) energy enters the item, it is called as ray-incarnation. If a part of My energy enters the item, it is called as part incarnation. If I charge an item temporarily, it is called as charged incarnation. If I express 75% of My possessed power, I am called as complete incarnation. If I express 100% of My power, I am called as fullest incarnation as in the case of Krishna. This fullest power is represented by Baalaashakti or Shri Datta having 16 years age as16 shades of shining. In all the incarnations, the possessed power is one and the same and the difference is only due to the percentage of expressed power as required by the context of the programme.
The body of incarnation is composed by awareness (Brahma), inert energy (Shiva) and inert matter (Vishnu), which is a living item of this creation. I may charge the body while it is in the womb of its mother or I may charge a human devotee at any time for some purpose of welfare of this world.
The awareness, energy and matter are like the three metals alloyed in a vessel or may be three different vessels. I can charge any vessel at any time by entering and merging with it. Generally, I charge the vessel made of the alloyed three metals (living body containing awareness, inert energy and inert matter as three components) for the sake of propagation of spiritual knowledge. As unimaginable God, I am the contained material of the vessel.
In every living being, all the three components exist as in My body acting as medium for My incarnation. A metallic wire made of alloyed three metals is one and the same whether it is charged by current or not. When the current is charging the alloy of three metals, the alloy still remains as a mixture of three metals (alloy is mixture), but, becomes one material only, which is the current. The three components become one and don’t remain as three. This is the meaning of the word ‘Atri’ (not three). Aatreya means the body attained by Me as son of sage Atri. Datta means the unimaginable God given to the world as visible through this body. This is the total meaning of My name ‘Dattaatreya’.
When current charges the metallic wire, the characteristic (shock) of the current is attained by the wire without disturbing its own characteristics (leanness of wire, colour of the metal etc.). You shall not argue that the wire should not be called as current since the original characteristics of wire (or wire) still exist. If the wire doesn’t exist, You can’t touch and experience the current alone without the wire. You should ignore the wire and say it as current itself. Hence, Datta (Eshwara) is to be called as unimaginable God merged in Datta. Any energetic or human incarnation is to be called as Datta (or unimaginable God) merged in the incarnation.
When I charge a living medium to become incarnation, I may charge its soul (awareness) only or its body (energy and matter) only or both. Shankara told that His soul is God. Hanuman told that He (soul) is servant of God, but, His body did several miracles since God became that body. In the case of Krishna, both His soul and body became God due to full merge. Krishna told in the Gita that He is God as the soul (Ahamaatmaa...). The body of Krishna lifted a huge mountain and hence, God became that body also. Inert matter is a form of inert energy and non-inert awareness is also a specific work form of inert energy only. Both matter and awareness are basically inert energy only. Awareness of God is unimaginable due to absence of inert energy and inert materialized nervous system in Him before creation. Awareness of soul is imaginable as the product of inert energy in functioning nervous system. Unimaginable awareness of God is omniscient and omnipotent whereas imaginable awareness of soul is having little knowledge and little power. Unimaginable awareness or unimaginable God has full freedom being controller of the entire creation whereas imaginable awareness with limited freedom is under the control of God. Awareness is a form of inert energy only, but, inert items don’t have awareness due to absence of nervous system.
God Buddha preached about Himself (as God), justice (as the path to be followed) and the society (to be served). Buddha means intelligence or knowledge. This means that one must take right decisions from knowledge as first step. The second step is devotion, which means that one should love justice only, which is always loved by God. The third step is service and sacrifice, which shall be done for the welfare of the world in the name of God without selfishness, always following justice and opposing injustice. Social service without the name of God leads You to temporary heaven and same social service in the name of God will lead You to My abode (Brahma Loka). This is the path followed by divine preachers in this world.
In the case of incarnation, soul or body or both become divine as God merges with one or both as per the required context. Soul is awareness and body is energy only in the case of energetic beings (angels) and it may be both energy and matter in the case of human beings. Thus, both soul and body mean all the three components, which are awareness, energy and matter (the rest mass of energy also can be taken as the aspect of matter and the body of energetic being can be also taken as energy and matter). Every incarnation must be treated as Myself only without any doubt.
Every incarnation says that it is God in some context at least. In the Veda, it is mentioned that sage Vamadeva spoke that He became Manu, the author of ethical scripture, which means that God is speaking through Him. Krishna also spoke that He preached god Sun in the beginning of creation. If an ordinary human being without Myself in him speaks so, it will be insulted by Me to destroy its ego for its welfare only.
I can enter any item either small or big in this world and merge with it. In doing so, I remain the same by fully occupying the entire medium without decrease or increase in Myself since I am beyond space. I can charge any energetic or human being and speak through its mouth, walk through its legs and do work through its hands. The Veda says that I am thousand headed (Sahasraseershaa...). The word ‘thousand’ means many. I can appear before My devotee through an existing medium or created medium as per the context of availability. This is the meaning of the statement that I am present everywhere for My devotee. It doesn’t mean that I am actually present everywhere. It only means that I will be available anywhere. When the demon broke the pillar, I was available in it appearing as human-lion form (Naarasimha).
I exhibit miracles to atheist about whom I have the hope of transformation in to theist. Then, I will preach spiritual knowledge to him. Miracle is My visiting card only giving My name and address with My phone number for call and the subsequent spiritual knowledge preached by Me is My self–introduction.
I come mainly for very few devotees only, who pray in climax devotion to see Me and talk with Me for direct clarification of their doubts. They are also anxious to stay with Me permanently. But, I discourage this desire in order to save their devotion. The undisturbed properties of My medium like hunger, thirst, sleep etc., exhibited will destroy their devotion. This is the reason for My leaving Brundavanam permanently after a short stay. There is no difference between ascended state (siddha) and descended state (Avataara). After ascending only, descending state results for the sake of helping the souls on the ground state.
When I come down as incarnation, I act as devotee to show the path to the ultimate goal. Actually, I am the ultimate goal itself. If I reveal Myself as the goal, the ordinary soul will misunderstand Me as a cheater. Hence, I behave like a devotee showing the path of devotion. On reaching the goal, the devotee finds Me again in the place of goal. My actual existence (not nature) shall be realized through the experience of the devotee and miracles in due course. This is the reason to find incarnations often acting as devotees.
I always hide My original nature as the ultimate unimaginable God and exhibit relative nature of My medium only so that I can suit to the role of a devotee showing the path of devotion. If My original nature is exhibited, even the angels will come down disturbing human beings. Moreover, if My original status of power is expressed, everybody becomes My devotee and tries to exploit My power for his/her selfish benefits. The real devotion can be tested only when I hide My original nature. If the son of a king acts like beggar, the daughter of a poor man loving him proves her real love. If the hero is known as the son of king, the love of the poor heroine may not be true since poor love wealth!
Mere following of the external signs like mark on forehead, garlands of beads doesn’t please that specific form of God Shiva or Vishnu. If You follow their qualities to some extent at least, You will please that specific form of God. Shiva swallowed poison for the welfare of the world. Similarly, if You face difficulties for the welfare of the society, Shiva is pleased with You. Krishna interfered in the dispute between Pandavaas and Kauravaas to support justice even though He and His family were destroyed by the curse of Gandhaari for such interference. How can You please Krishna, if You go away from a dispute observed by You, thinking that it is in no way connected to You?
Can a person appearing in the dress of lion and fearing on seeing a goat becomes the lion really? A person without such dress jumping over an elephant creating havoc and controls it is a real lion. By wearing saffron cloth and sacred ash, You can’t become the divine preacher Shankara, who sacrificed even His life in preaching the spiritual knowledge (an opponent in the spiritual debate did black magic on Shankara, who died with its disease). Similarly, a person by wearing vertical mark on forehead can’t became the divine preacher Ramanuja, who declared the sacred mantra to all irrespective of caste and gender, ready to go to hell for such act as per the comment of His preacher.
Only living human beings have the opportunity of spiritual path. First, You must know the details of goal, path and Yourself (knowledge). Next, You will naturally develop attraction to that goal (devotion). Finally, You will put practical efforts to reach the goal (service and sacrifice). You can save Your energy if You minimise these three involved in the worldly issues. The saved energy can be spent in these three in attaining spiritual goal. If the saved energy is not spent for the proper purpose also, such energy will become waste, which is stolen by death. Stress and tension of mind in worldly issues is harmful and the same in spiritual path will not be harmful due to the grace of God.
Radha is called as greatest power (Mahaashakti) due to climax of her devotion and I am doing creation, ruling and destruction of this world following her orders given by movement of her eye-brows! She is the climax of sacrifice and service, which are the true proof of real devotion. Knowledge, devotion and service with sacrifice are preached by the three divine preachers gradually step by step. You must not overlook the two theoretical basic steps (knowledge and devotion), which are the basis for practical devotion (service with sacrifice) that yields the final fruit.
When I left My body as Krishna, Radha died while walking on the sand of the bank of Yamuna river in summer. In every step, she was singing “Oh Lord! I am the servant of Your sacred feet and let me fall on Your feet”. Every particle of sand was burning like a spark and she fell down to be burnt on that sand. This shows the climax of her true love to Me. Whenever I like to leave My body in any incarnation, I remember that last scene of Radha and immediately I leave the body with agony. I am the ocean of peace, but, Radha is the most violent Tsunami that appears in Me.
I appear as a drunkard. The drunk wine is nothing but the love of My devotees towards Me. Remembering their love is My drinking the wine. I have such climax of patience and peace that I can very easily tolerate the deaths of all the living beings in this world in final dissolution. But, on remembering the love and sacrifice of My devotees like Radha and Hanuman, even My body is perishing in the end of My incarnation. Hanuman also thought of committing suicide when Sita was not found during search in Lanka! Such extreme devotion is very very rare and My main aim to create this world is only for remembering the unimaginable love of such devotees only. This (experiencing the climax devotion of My devotee) is the climax of My sacred entertainment, which is not cheap entertainment like playing cards, chess etc. Ignorant people misunderstand the Vedic statement, which says that I have created this world for My entertainment like a sadist!
Atheists believe in plurality of the creation in which space is also existing separately as nothing of anything. They are not grasping the subtle nature of space, which is the root-source energy. We have, thus, both monism and plurality co-existing in this imaginable domain itself. Atheists feel that monism and plurality are imaginable concepts and there is nothing beyond both these concepts.
We don’t say that God is one or many since both these concepts depend on the existence of space. We simply say that God is unimaginable, who is beyond both these concepts, being the generator of the space. The miracles in this world exhibited by incarnations and great devotees prove the existence of unimaginable domain beyond any doubt. These atheists are peculiar, who accept the existence of this perceived world and at the same time, don’t accept the perceived miracles. They have unimaginable rigidity in their minds, for which spiritual knowledge is not a cure except the punishments in unimaginable ways for their sins. If they are not sinful based on atheism, I will not touch them even if they scold Me to any extent. Even the punishment of a sinner is for reformation only and not for revenge.
When items are created from non-existent space, either You have to agree that space is subtle energy or unimaginable God is creating these items. Even if You agree that space is subtle energy, the process of creation from space is still unimaginable only proving the existence of unimaginable God. Hence, miracles always are directed to the proof of existence of unimaginable God. The oneness of God is not based on spatial boundaries of an imaginable item. This oneness means the oneness of any number of unimaginable items like unimaginable God, unimaginable power of God, unimaginable awareness of God etc. Whenever I say that this world is unreal before Me, then, I represent the unimaginable God merged with Me. Whenever I say that this world is real, I represent the relative form of Datta or Eshwara separately with which unimaginable God merged later on. In view of My relative nature of medium, My body and My special world of devotees (Brahma Loka) are real existing even in final dissolution, which doesn’t mean that they (including My relative medium) exist even in the absolute plane of unimaginable God.
In worldly logic, different concepts contradicting each other can’t be correlated in one place at one time whereas such concepts are correlated simultaneously in the same place at the same time in the case of unimaginable God. The same God is simultaneously smaller than smallest particle and bigger than the biggest world and this is contradiction of the nature of space, which gets correlated in God due to His omnipotence.
The Veda says that I am solidified spiritual knowledge (Prajnaanaghanah). Some people take mere awareness as the meaning of the word Prajnaana. It is not correct. Jnaana means knowledge. The prefix word ‘pra’ means excellent or very great. Very great knowledge is spiritual knowledge only. When God preaches it, it becomes excellent by clearing doubts from the root. It means that I am the solidified form of spiritual knowledge and this is figure of speech. You can correlate this word to My body also. The basic material of knowledge is awareness. Awareness is a form of energy and matter is also a form of energy. Hence, My body constituted by matter, energy and awareness is solidified form of knowledge or energy. Matter is solidified form of condensed energy. But, the figure of speech is more meaningful in the sense that the incarnation alone can be treated as solidified (highly concentrated) form of spiritual knowledge. The second sense applies to any human being, who is ignorant also.
The Veda also says that God appears to His real devotees anxious for His vision, by expressing Himself through His body (Vivrunute tanuum svaam). It also says that God does not stand beyond the world since He appears before the devotees (yat saakshaat aparookshaat). It also says that one courageous person (courageous because he/she doesn’t care for the brain wash from others) sees God in person (Kashchit dheerah pratyagaatmaanamaikshat). The Gita says that such rare person alone recognizes God in human form as God (Kashchit maam vetti).
This divine form can be seen by special penance, which means nothing but intensive desire (yamaivaisha vrunute… Veda). The Brahma Sutra says that God is formless since formless is the main item (Aruupavadeva hi tat pradhaanatvaat). This means that the awareness or soul in a body is the main item being told as greatest item of creation (paraaprukruti). Awareness is considered as formless when compared to the body having solid boundaries. God becomes the soul also and hence, can be treated as formless.
The Veda also says that God can’t be seen with eyes (Na chakshushaa...). This also means that the first intensive energetic body of the Lord can’t be seen by these physical eyes, which may become blind due to the intensive radiation. Hence, Lord said to Arjuna that He will grant divine power of vision to see His first intensive energetic form. If You apply this to unimaginable God, it means that God is totally invisible since He is not even imaginable. When the Veda says that He is seen, it means that God is seen through normal human form, which is easily visible or through normal energetic form, which is easily visible to angels.
By penance, one can see My energetic incarnations. One can see easily My human incarnation in this world with physical eyes. But, one can’t see the intensive energy of My first energetic incarnation as expressed in the cosmic vision showed by Krishna to Arjuna. Hence, the first energetic incarnation is also invisible like unimaginable God. The difference is that the first energetic incarnation can be seen by blessed eyes whereas unimaginable God can never be seen since He is beyond even imagination.
As unimaginable God, I am totally beyond this world without any medium around Me and in such state, I am called as naked Datta (Digambara). Ignorant people, without understanding this, think that I am naked without cloths! In this first energetic form, I can be seen by You not through Your mere penance, but, through My grace added to Your penance.
I have taken meals in eight villages simultaneously with the same human body (Shri Narasimha Saraswati). I have appeared in a different body simultaneously in other place (Sai Baba). This is My unimaginable power called as Mayaa. I am the same one unimaginable God existing in various forms simultaneously.
I can be in several forms in the same place as in the case of two or many simultaneous incarnations at the same time. Due to My omnipotence, light and darkness can co-exist together as a mixture!
Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva are My transparent dresses through which I can be seen very easily and hence, I am called by their names as Hiranyagarbha, Naaraayana and Sadaashiva respectively. My unimaginable nature is very easily expressed through these three energetic incarnations of Myself. In other energetic and human incarnations, I (My unimaginable nature and power) am covered by thick dress and I think a lot before expressing My unimaginable nature and power through these thick dressed incarnations.
The human being on this earth and the angel in the upper worlds are the best items of My creation since these have the precious awareness, which is called as paraaprakruti or the best item of creation. There is no difference between energetic being (angel) and human being in the constitution of the bodies. The difference is coming only by one point that the angel recognizes the energetic incarnation (leaving very few exceptional cases) and the human being doesn’t recognize the human incarnation (leaving very few exceptional cases).
I am expressed by the three divine forms (Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva) without any difference. Madhva, Ramanuja and Shankara are their human incarnations respectively, who gave the divine commentaries. I am the single author of those commentaries and how can You find difference among those? The external difference is only due to the difference in the souls faced by Me for preaching during the time of My incarnation.
I always appear in opposite way to destroy the ego possessed by souls. I appear as ugly person to a person having ego of beauty. I appear as old person to a person having ego of youth. I appear as talentless fool to a person having ego of talent. Every meritorious work done by any soul is due to My grace only and the soul takes the credit of it (ego)! Every defect is due to the ego and ignorance of the soul only and the soul passes it on to Me scolding Me for its failure! A true scholar owns the defect and passes on the credit to Me like the fan revolving before You. It draws zeros in the space by circular motions saying that it is a big zero and the merit of movement to give the air is passed on the unseen current working through it. It owns the defect of bearing generating harsh sound. Keep always the fan as Your preacher.
The Veda says that God is bound to the cart (life) of the soul as the horse to drag on it (abadhnan purusham pashum). This means that God is the work energy in every incident. The horse drags the soul in the direction as per decision of the soul. If the soul reaches a bad place, it is harmed. If the soul reaches a good place, it is happy. Tragedy and happiness are the respective fruits to be experienced by the soul and not by the horse.
Even though I am the horse dragging on the cart, I am not responsible for Your directions of the deeds and the corresponding fruits are decided by Your directions or aims (Sankalpa) and not by the horse. I am the doer in the sense I drag on the cart, but, I am not the doer since I have not given the direction of the deed. I am really the doer in creating this world and My direction or aim is to get entertainment from it, which fruit, I am only getting and not Yourself. You are the enjoyer of Your fruits and I am the enjoyer of My fruit.
The person coming to Your place by a horse says that he is coming to Your place and doesn’t mention about the horse. This is full ego. The same person telling that he is coming to Your place with the help of the horse shows partial ego (partnership with God). The person saying that the horse is carrying on him to Your place is devoid of ego. Ego plays a key role in spiritual path and You should be very careful and think well before uttering any statement.
The egoistic person always projects himself/herself in every idea and statement. I get vexed with these statements projecting ego always and go out, which is the old age. The person has only very little free energy (energy available for work) and walks slowly. Still, the soul doesn’t realize Me, the God, as the source of all forms of energies. I am also failing the soul in every work done by his plan to suppress the ego of the soul, which is the main hindrance to reach Me. Based on this, the saying is generated, which is that man proposes and God disposes. This is not My sadism, but, My effort to suppress the ego of the soul. Still, the soul even in old age is not reformed! Only in the death time, I (as the horse bound to his life-cart) completely withdraw from him. He realizes the truth and repents with deep pain thinking that he realized when the time is over whereas the realization did not come when the time existed previously!
This soul was without freedom in the beginning of creation and was always with full realization and full surrender to Me. I used to guide and protect the soul in every step. But, the soul got bored with lack of freedom and hence, I gave a little freedom with limitations. The soul thinks that this little freedom is the full freedom, becomes egoistic and started doing sins, which are against My commandments given to humanity through scripture. I am pleased if You follow My instructions and I become furious if You violate My instructions. My pleasure and displeasure can be taken as indications of good and bad.
The awareness is not different from inert energy. A robot working with the help of information fed is not different from the human being. A human being is creating new ideas based on the existing fed external information only. A robot can also do this. At least, by understanding this truth, the soul should leave the ego that it is already God.
The wife of Goutama called as Ahalya, who is soul or awareness in a living body became inert stone. The stone again is transformed in to Ahalya by God. This clearly proves the forward and backward reactions of transformation of inert energy into non-inert awareness and vice versa. The soul is created by God (creator) and it (soul) is not the creator. When the cowherds and cows were stolen by the Prajaapati, I, as Lord Krishna, created new cowherds and new cows as exact duplicate forms. If the soul is the creator, the soul can’t be again created by another creator. You must learn the philosophy of spiritual knowledge from such stories and shall not treat those as stories for entertainment.
Inert means that which is in My control. Non-inert awareness (unimaginable God) is the unimaginable awareness, which is Myself (taken as unimaginable God merged with My medium). If You differentiate inert and non-inert simply by the capacity of grasping information of non-inert item, such classification is based on negligible concept. If You differentiate the non-inert awareness (as unimaginable God, omniscient, omnipotent and controlling everything other than itself) from the soul (as imaginable awareness controlled by God), such classification is very much significant.
Some ignorant souls blame Me for this freedom given by Me, which spoiled the souls. Your blame may be correct if all the souls are spoiled. Some are spoiled in this atmosphere of freedom and some are not spoiled. If the freedom given by Me is responsible, all the souls should have been spoiled. I am doing always My best by preaching the true spiritual knowledge by coming as incarnations in to this world to resist the spoiling of souls.
The surrounding atmosphere with which the soul always gets interaction is very very important initial step that decides the direction of further steps. If a human being is grown in animals, it exactly behaves like an animal only. Hence, the interest and behaviour depends on the external atmosphere. Of course, the sub-conscious state having the behaviour of previous births is also important. Both the \fertility of soil and health of seed are equally important for germination.
The root causal body (Mahaakaarana Shareeram) is My will for the entertainment in a justified and dignified way. If this is understood, no soul will put the question “what is the purpose of my (soul) birth and life?” The answer is very simple that the purpose of the life of any soul is only to please God, which is a tiny part of the main purpose of this entire creation. When You are a tiny part of this huge creation, the purpose of Your life must be a tiny part of the major purpose of this creation only. Hence, You must please Me by following My instructions given in the scripture to support justice in this world and be grateful to Me, the creator and protector of every soul through giving so many facilities in the nature and required freedom to live happily.
Even though I have given freedom to these souls, these have become again without freedom since these are totally controlled by their sub-conscious state and external atmosphere. In the place of Myself as the controller, the sub-conscious state and external atmosphere influencing the soul by their strong concepts have established themselves as controllers. The soul is again in the original place with difference that it is not in the right line but, placed in wrong line.
Out of these two controlling factors, the sub-conscious state can’t be changed by any effort since it is in hidden state without the awareness of the soul and suddenly influencing the soul in the time of the context of an incident appearing practically. It is like a hidden serpent in the house biting the person while sleeping! But, the selection of external atmosphere is in Your hands and with the help of continuous external atmosphere, the sub-conscious state gradually gets weakened and finally disappears totally. Hence, spend all Your free time in the association of spiritual people with discussions, which in long run will change Your sub-conscious state completely.
Since You have the freedom of selecting Your external atmosphere, which is the association with good spiritual scholars and devotees, You are becoming totally responsible for Your future (since Your such external atmosphere strengthens Your spiritual knowledge that can reform Your subconscious state also). The sub-conscious state contains strong concepts of previous births and this birth also, which is called as Kaarana shareeram or causal body. This is called as individual soul with limited boundaries of selfishness. Some general awareness exists in the bundle of thoughts of sub-conscious state and this awareness acting as the binding material of thoughts is actually the individual soul. But, this individual soul is totally contaminated with closely associated bundle of thoughts (causal body) and You can call the individual soul itself as bundle of thoughts, though it is not actually the bundle of thoughts being the soul individualised due to the effect of its closely associated causal body.
This individual soul along with causal body is surrounded by some general awareness like the circle of intensive light glowing around a lamp. This general awareness is pure and is almost like inert energy without affected by any thought. This general awareness that becomes subtle body can be almost called as inert energy (in fact, the subtle body is said to be made of inert energy for this reason), which is just different from inert energy by one point only that it is alive and non-inert. Such general awareness is called as sukshama shareeram or Praanashariram, which takes the shape of gross body while leaving the gross body in the death. The individual soul, full of thoughts is called as Manomaya or made of mind and mind is thought only. This individual soul or jeeva, always associated with causal body leads the subtle body with force generated by its cycle of deeds. Since the soul is the creator of its cycle of deeds, I am not responsible for its life in this world or in the upper world.
This cycle of deeds is based on cause (deed)—effect (fruit to be enjoyed as per the constitution). The defect lies with the object (individual soul) itself. Both these cause and effect are in the form of another sub-cycle by a chain reaction in which deed and thought (Vassanaa or samskara or Buddhi) exchange mutually, making the other main cycle also to rotate continuously in circular motion. When the deed is done, the thought is generated. The generated thought again becomes cause for the generation of deed. By this rotating inner sub-cycle, the enjoyment of fruit and its deed (main cycle) continues in uncontrolled way. This means that the enjoyment of fruit is not bringing permanent control since the main cycle (deed-fruit) is also rotating continuously due to the continuous rotation of the sub-cycle (deed-thought). The sub-cycle always rotate the main cycle.
Unimaginable God is extremely wonderful since all wonders are done by Him only. The wonderful nature is in the view of the soul only and not in the view of unimaginable God. Soul can’t understand the unimaginable God, but, the unimaginable God understands Himself. Wonder arises only when something is not understood.
I am bringing some fruits of sins as punishments to be given in the hell in to this life itself to crash the ego of a soul crossing the limits for the spiritual welfare of the soul. Otherwise, the soul will become blind with this solidified cataract of ego, which becomes very complicated for Me in operation later on. Generally, the punishments of sins are to be given in the hell unless it is an intensive sin. I break any rule of the constitution based on the emergent necessity in the treatment of a soul for reformation.
Even the diseases are the fruits of sins only causing lot of suffering by which the soul is suppressed from its ego or overconfidence. All the difficulties faced by You are the procedures of My medical treatment only, from which You request salvation to be given by Me! Shall I bend to Your request done with ignorance of Your welfare or shall I proceed with My treatment to give You permanent reformation-health? As omniscient Father, I select the second option only.
In the state of human incarnation, if the devotee is ripened, I am visible to him, like a person covered by transparent cloths. He/she will call Me as Datta and not by the name of cloth. If egoistic devotee approaches Me, I am not seen like a person hidden in wooden box. He/she calls Me as box only, which is My name of the medium. The transparent cloth is also medium, but, is neglected since the person wearing it is clearly seen. Since I am not seen while hidden in the box, one calls Me by the name of My medium, which is the box only unable to detect Me hidden in the box.
The Veda says that all this is God (Sarvam khalividam Brahma). People misinterpret the world as God. If it is so, there is nothing other than God and in such case, the entertainment given by separate unreal world is also unreal. That results that I didn’t create anything. All this is spoken by Me from Your point of relative view and not My point of absolute view. If the world is unreal in relative plane also, You are also unreal and can’t speak this statement. I always speak from Your view and not from My view since I have to preach You and not Myself!
All the items of creation need the existence of space without which they can’t even exist. You are also one of such items. How can You understand Me with the help of items like You? The only information about Me that You can get is simply that I exist. You are getting only this information from Your observation of unimaginable miracles. Your information is that something unimaginable exists and nothing more than this is understood by You. The Veda says this point (Asteetyeva upalabdhavyah).
Knowledge means to know that God is unknown and unknowable. Knowledge doesn’t mean to know the nature of God. In the case of all items of creation, knowledge means that any item is known or knowable. If You know that God is unknowable through intensive discussions and debates, Your knowledge of God becomes very strong. Simply knowing from somebody that God is unknowable generates always several doubts in Your mind. The more strongly You know this point, the more attraction is developed towards God. The human psychology is that it neglects known or knowable items and becomes more concentrated on unknown or unknowable item. I remain always in this state so that the human being will never neglect Me and develop ego.
The spiritual aspirant shall not get ego till he becomes Brahman or God through incarnation on the desire of God. Ego is always the virus of spiritual effort. Even after becoming God, if ego enters the human being component, God quits the human being component, which gets insulted immediately and this is not the revenge but the treatment of ego-disease.
If You are always thinking about God, You are not only the scholar, but also a devotee. Devotion and knowledge are one and the same as stated by Shankara. By this, You must know that Shankara and Ramanuja are one and the same. You are always thinking about God because You have love (devotion) to God. By thinking (through analysis) more and more, more and more details of God are attained by You, which increase Your devotion to God. As Your devotion increases more and more, Your devotion will increase Your interest in God more and more. Knowledge generates devotion and devotion promotes knowledge.
The Veda says that knower of Brahman is Brahman (Brahmavit Brahmaiva bhavati). This means that God alone is the knower of God. This doesn’t mean that the knower of God is becoming God. You have to take the help of other statements from the scripture to correlate the correct meaning with the other statements. Other statements say that God is not known by anybody except His existence. The Gita also says that nobody knows God. The Brahma Sutra also says about the associated characteristic of God that God is the creator of this world and doesn’t give the inherent characteristic useful for identification. If You say that Rama is the builder of this house, nobody can identify Rama with such information. If You say about the height, colour etc., of Rama, one can identify with the help of such information. The interpretation must always be correlated with other statements of the scripture also.
You can’t conclude that God is the awareness found in human beings, which is generated by the inert energy in functioning nervous system transformed into special work of transferring the information from external senses to brain. This awareness is totally disappearing if the nervous system doesn’t function in the deep sleep. If food is not taken, the inert energy is not generated and then also this awareness is disappearing. The product is not coming out from the factory if the machinery is not functioning or if the raw material is not supplied to the factory. This means that God is not generated if the nervous system is not functioning or if the food is not supplied to the body! Do You call such product as God? Awareness is only work and the omnipotent God can do any work without such awareness. A human being can’t know anything in the absence of such awareness. ‘Soul is God’ must be forgotten completely, which is false overconfidence (first statement). ‘A selected soul by God can become God by His will’ must be remembered (second statement) always for retaining true confidence. You shall try to become God with the help of second statement and not with the help of first statement.
