Śrī Rājīva Uvāca:-
[Shri Rajiv Spoke]:-

[In the case of Incarnation, both difference and oneness are involved. In the case of Śrī Paraśurāma, God quits Him when the work is over. In the case of Kṛṣṇa, God exists in Him forever. Both these cases contradict each other. How can this be explained?]

[When God Kṛṣṇa left His gross body here at the end of His incarnation, God did not quit Him. When God Kṛṣṇa went to the topmost Goloka, the same form of Kṛṣṇa exists as the energetic body of Kṛṣṇa. In the case of Kṛṣṇa, monism is seen, whereas in the case of Śrī Paraśurāma, dualism is seen.]

Shri Datta Bhagavān Uvāca:-
[God Śrī Datta Spoke]:-

[All should remember that only Parabrahman is omnipotent. Moreover, in this world, a person may stay in his own constructed house forever. The same person might have lived in a rented house previously and quit it after constructing his own house.]

[Śrī Paraśurāma, as a soul, develops an ego that He Himself had killed all the bad kings on the earth. By this, Śrī Paraśurāma becomes a prey for the powerful ego. Due to this, God exits from Him. God (Parabrahman) always does great activity and gives the fame of that activity to the soul devoted to Him. The soul should not be affected by the ego due to such fame given by God.]

[You may misunderstand God Kṛṣṇa, who told that He is the God, who is creating, maintaining and dissolving this world (Ahaṃ krutsnasya jagataḥ, Prabhavaḥ pralayas tathā, Mayi sarva midaṃ protaṃ…– Gita). In this statement, the word ‘I’ denotes God and not the soul. Hence, there is no ego in this context. In the case of Śrī Paraśurāma, the same word ‘I’ denoted the soul and not the God in His thought.]

[Even the Lord of Lords, Śrī Paraśurāma, did not really get ego for killing all the bad kings on the earth. He only acted in the ignorant role to teach the world that the ego should be sacrificed by humanity whenever a great deed is done by God through the souls.]

[In the theory of dualism, even if we find monism within the maximum limits of intelligence, the difference may be beyond the limits of our intelligence and hence, we may not identify the difference. In this case, the difference is beyond the limits of even very sharp intelligence. Therefore, the difference cannot be touched by normal intelligence.]

[In the example of sugar dissolving in water to form a solution, the difference between sugar molecules and water molecules can be grasped by us with the help of a powerful microscope. But, due to the unimaginable omnipotent power of God, the difference may exist even very very far from the most powerful microscopes. Hence, we cannot take the microscope to be the ultimate instrument to find the difference.]

[This above said possibility can certainly exist in the case of omnipotent God. Nobody can deny this possibility. For the omnipotent God, nothing is impossible.]

[There is a philosophy called “difference and non-difference” (Bhedā'bheda vāda) in which both the difference between God and soul and simultaneously the non-difference between God and some other soul like Krishna (not all souls) exists. As per this theory, God and the soul of Kṛṣṇa are one and the same (Abheda) and God and ordinary souls are different (Bheda). Such possibility cannot be denied because we say that God is omnipotent.]

[In the theory that God is omnipotent, the above said theories are not wrong due to their contradiction. The reason is that even though God is omnipotent, He will perform every deed in such a way that is proper. He does not want to exhibit His omnipotence even by doing improper things so that there will be practical proof for every probability (Demons do like this). By doing only proper things, His omnipotence is not disproved.]

[A person may be capable of cutting any item in this world. To prove such a capability of the person, will anybody ask him to cut the throat of his son? Therefore, the analysis of doing the most proper action alone is the proof of the theory of omnipotence.]

[The existence of Parabrahman, the unmediated-unimaginable God, is not acceptable to ordinary human beings because even scholars cannot imagine Parabrahman. Parabrahman is beyond mind and intelligence and cannot be known by any type of authority of knowledge. Therefore, it is always safest to start the spiritual journey from visible-mediated-unimaginable God like Viṣṇu for energetic beings and visible-mediated-unimaginable God like Kṛṣṇa for human beings, rather than unmediated-unimaginable God or Parabrahman.]

[Whether the soul is illiterate or a great scholar, there is no other way than to accept the mediated God only. It is also better to accept the worship of God Nārāyaṇa because we are in the present middle state of maintenance of the world and the present form of God related to the maintenance of the world is God Nārāyaṇa, who is to be taken for worship as the most proper way. This is the reason why Śrī Rāmānuja and Śrī Madhva selected God Nārāyaṇa for worship and meditation.]

[God Nārāyaṇa is in the energetic form and it is very difficult for human devotees to see Him. He can only be seen through very long and serious penance. Therefore, the human form, God Kṛśṇa, is very convenient for human devotees to see, meditate and worship.]

[But, even the human incarnation of God Nārāyaṇa, called God Kṛṣṇa, has left this world and became an energetic incarnation in Goloka. Therefore, He is also not currently available for worship by the human devotees on the earth. The next incarnation, God Buddha is also not available. The last incarnation is God Kalki, who appears at the end of the Kali age, which is very far from now. Without a contemporary human incarnation of God, the human devotees are deprived of the fortune of even seeing God on this earth.]

[First, you must see God, then you must hear the true spiritual knowledge from God, then you must think about the concepts of such spiritual knowledge and then, you must come to a firm decision. Only after all these stages, you can practice the spiritual knowledge with devotion. This life of a human being is very little like a water bubble! If seeing God itself takes such a long time (to see the Energetic Incarnation of God itself takes a very long time in doing serious penance), is there time in the human life to come to a decision and practice the spiritual knowledge?]

[If you argue that there were only good people in the time of Krishna due to which God Kṛṣṇa existed in that time, it is not acceptable because several bad people were killed in the time of Kṛṣṇa. Therefore, at all times, both good and bad people exist. When this is the fact, if Kṛṣṇa appeared at a specific time only while the nature of the population was continuously homogeneous with both good and bad people existing all the time, it results in the irrational partiality of God Kṛṣṇa to exist only in one generation without discriminating good people from bad people.]

[Therefore, there should be at least a minimum of one incarnation in every generation that must appear on this earth to maintain devotional justice. Even from the Bhāgavatam, we hear that the incarnations of God Nārāyaṇa coming out are uncountable and cannot be limited to small numbers like 10 or 24. (Avatārā hy asaṅkhyeyā hareḥ sattva-nidher dvijāḥ, yathāvidāsinaḥ kulyāḥ sarasaḥ syuḥ sahasraśaḥ - Śrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.3.26.).]

[A lot of time is taken by the devotee to do such a long penance to see the energetic form of God. The lifetime of the human being is also very very little. This is the main background reason for God to appear in human form to the devotee on this earth.]

[To see the Human Incarnation of God, no time is to be spent because the Human Incarnation is readily available on the earth, who is already engaged in the spiritual program. Hence, as soon as you see the Human Incarnation, you can immediately get the true spiritual knowledge and follow the rest of the steps of your spiritual effort. The Human Incarnation is available to all human beings on the earth at any time for help in the spiritual path.]

[The Veda says that the unmediated-unimaginable God or Parabrahman appears before your eyes embedded in a medium. The Veda also says that some fortunate climax devotee has seen the Parabrahman in the form of a human being.]

[You are searching for God through terrible penance while God is standing before your house door! This reminds us of a story in which Goddess Lakṣmī puts down a heap of gems before a poor fellow with kindness. But at the same time, the unfortunate poor fellow thinks whether he can run by closing his eyes and runs till he crosses that heap of gems! Similar is the case with the unfortunate poor human being searching for God through terrible penance while God in human form is standing before his house!]

[The only reason to see God on this earth is to get true spiritual knowledge because several spiritual preachers are preaching different ways to reach God and their confusing preachings are creating deep madness in the minds of sincere spiritual aspirants.]

[There are several spiritual books like the Bhagavad-Gītā, the Brahma Sūtras etc., which are spoken by the incarnations of God and these books are oceans of spiritual knowledge. But, unfortunately, the commentaries on these sacred books are quite different with different interpretations. In addition, the disciples have very much crooked intelligence and are causing serious quarrels based on the misunderstood contradictions.]

[All three Vedantic philosophies, which in fact are theistic religions, have three main commonalities: establishing the existence of God, establishing the existence of heaven to reward merits and establishing the existence of hell to punish sins. No Vedantic philosophy is atheistic. The disciples of these three philosophies are quarrelling with each other like brothers quarrelling over property!]

[All theistic religions in this world shall unite like friends due to the common basic philosophy. All these religions must unite to fight their common enemy, which is the atheistic religion.]

[The cultures regarding food, dress, traditions etc., may differ in the people from one region to another region in this world. But, the basic theism, which is the root of all spiritual concepts, is one and the same in all these religions (Different regions in the world have different religions.). It is just like all the living beings differ externally but have the commonality of life.]

[The speciality of Human Incarnation of God is that the human form of God can easily mix with ordinary human beings so that the ordinary human devotees can ask questions to get answers without any excitement. People can mix with the Human Incarnation freely, with perfect peace existing in the normal ground state.]

[The Human Incarnation exhibits few miracles only to maintain Its normal status so that It can mix with ordinary human beings freely without causing any excitement to them. These miracles are exhibited only in the case of very deserving devotees in the state of extreme emergency. The Human Incarnation will try Its best to hide Its miraculous powers to the best of Its ability because It does not want to exhibit Its miraculous powers and always tries to hide the miraculous powers. Only demons, who achieved miraculous powers from God through rigid penance, try to exhibit miraculous powers frequently to get fame in the public.]

[There is also another reason for hiding the miraculous powers by the Human incarnation. There are many immature devotees, who are selfish and try to exploit the miraculous powers of the Human Incarnation in order to get rid of their worldly problems. By this, the selfishness increases more and more and the devotees move farther and farther away from God.]

[The main aim of the Human Incarnation is the eradication of selfishness and progress in sacrifice, which pleases God very much to attain salvation. These miracles are contrary to the aim of the program of Incarnation in this world since miracles destroy sacrifice and increase selfishness.]

[The Human Incarnation becomes famous even though it hides its identification. An ordinary ignorant human being thinks that the Human Incarnation is famous through Its miracles and not through Its excellent knowledge and unimaginable love to devotees. With this misunderstanding, every normal devotee tries to achieve those miraculous powers so that he/she can also become famous like the Human Incarnation. The main reason in the heart of every normal devotee is to become the Human Incarnation due to undefeatable jealousy. To speak the truth frankly, which soul conquered the jealousy?]

[Among the six vices: Lust (Kāma), anger (Krodha), greediness (Lobha), fascination (Moha), ego (Mada) and jealousy (Mātsaryam), the last two are most powerful. Especially when the medium (body) is one and the same, these two become very much predominant i.e., human beings hate another greater human being.]

[Even the Veda says that even angels (not to speak of human beings) feel jealous and hate anybody, who is greater than himself/herself, especially when present before their eyes and they like anybody, who is even greater than the greater person, if not present before his/her eyes. This is the reason why people do not like the Human Incarnation (1. Present before eyes and also 2. due to the common human medium) and like the Energetic Incarnation (1. Not present before eyes and also 2. Due to different energetic medium).]

[In spiritual knowledge, there are two subjects called i) Spiritual Economics and ii) Spiritual Politics. In Spiritual Economics, the Human Incarnation is not liked because whatever food is offered, the Human Incarnation will eat it. Similarly, if you offer a golden jewel, the Human Incarnation will take it away.]

[If an inert statue or photo is worshipped, as soon as you offer some food or some golden jewel, you can immediately take back the food or the jewel for your personal use. By this, there is no loss to your food or money. Greediness is the reason for the worship of statues and photos. This is called as ‘Spiritual Economics’.]

[In Spiritual Politics, whatever philosophy is followed by your ancestors and relatives, you will follow the same with full faith and obedience. Your ancestors give you property and your relatives cooperate with your needs in life. There is no search for the truth at all. This is called as ‘Spiritual Politics’.]

[Neither the wealth nor your ancestors and relatives will follow you after your death. In the upper worlds, the only protector is God. Therefore, one must always search and surrender to God by following the true path.]

[The devotion and knowledge are theoretical only. Practical service and practical sacrifice are only the realities. This point is also proved in worldly matters. Therefore, the human being must always serve and sacrifice practically.]

[God Hanumān was always engaged in the service of Rāma, which is called as Karma Saṃnyāsa, which means sacrificing physical work. Hanumān is a saint and hence, Karma Saṃnyāsa, which is mere practical service, is done by saints. If you see Bharata, He sacrificed the entire kingdom and stayed as a saint. Saktuprastha and His family, hungry for several days in a drought, sacrificed the little food they obtained to God, who came in the form of a guest. If you take the case of Sudāmā, he and his family were hungry for several days, but still, he brought parched rice on loan to sacrifice to God Kṛṣṇa. These devotees were worshipped even by God.]

[Karma Saṃnyāsa is the sacrifice of physical energy. Karma Phala Tyāga is the sacrifice of hard-earned wealth. Both these are the two legs to walk. The brain of the path is spiritual knowledge or Jñāna Yoga. The strength to walk is devotion or Bhakti Yoga. The goal to which the spiritual aspirant walks is God Datta, called as Hiraṇyagarbha, Nārāyaṇa and Īśvara.]

Iti Śrī Datta Svāmi viracita Śrī Rājīva Gītāyām Avatāra Vicāra Yogo Nāma Caturthādhyāyaḥ।

[Like this, in Shri Rajiva Gita, composed by His Holiness Shri Datta Swami, the Fourth Chapter called ‘The Association of Enquiry of the Incarnation’ is completed.]
