Why do You recommend the chanting of the names of other forms of God?

[Ms. Thrylokya asked: Swami, I have practical experience that You can remove any problem of a devotee. In such a case, why do You recommend the chanting of the names of other forms of God and also recommend some special food preparations to be given to beggars for pacification of planets?]

Swami replied:- Miracles are only examples to create faith in the existence and omnipotence of the ultimate unimaginable God. If God Datta goes on solving the difficulties of devotees, the devotees become inactive and lazy. Hence, God Datta recommends the worship of His other divine forms also, which are already famous in society. This is to develop the devotion of devotees towards God. Sacrifice of special food items to beggars is to develop practical sacrifice, which is the ultimate step in  spiritual effort. Unless some selfish benefit is linked, human beings will not follow these concepts in their pure sense.
