[Śrī Anil asked: Padanamaskaram Swami! After going through Your knowledge on the topic the Human Incarnation of God, a Muslim devotee has noted his differences of opinion as given below. Could You kindly respond to him?
The Muslim devotee said: Dear Swamiji, I appreciate Your positive thinking. However, I would like to differ on the following points. Islam denies a God who is dependent upon ‘coming to this world’ for any purpose. The God is Omnipresent, Omniscient, Absolute, All Mighty. Muhammad (peace be upon Him) was indeed a human being chosen by the God to bring His Guidance to mankind. He had the highest form of traits and knowledge from the God. According to the Holy Quran, Jesus (peace be upon Him) was never killed but raised up by God to safety, only to return along with Al Mahdi/ Kalki/ Maitreya/Sayoshyant to establish first ever rule of God all over the earth. Islam denies a God who can be killed by a wicked human being. God is All Mighty, All Powerful. We all are from the God and to Him shall we all return. He is Absolute and does not need any helper or support. He is independent of any limits or bounds. Swami, kindly give a response to this.]
Swami replied: Jesus did miracles and also preached excellent spiritual knowledge. He raised a dead person to life. Can anybody kill Him against His wish? When the ear of a soldier was cut with a sword, Jesus attached the ear back in the correct position. Kṛṣṇa also did several miracles and preached spiritual knowledge called the Gītā. The unimaginable God merges with a selected human being and the result is the Human Incarnation. The Human Incarnation also has the properties of a human being, but those properties are related to the medium and not to God, who is the possessor of the medium. Even the house of the king gets damaged if a thunderbolt falls on it. His house is also just like the houses of other people. God, the possessor of the medium will not interfere with the properties of the medium. The electric current does not interfere with properties of the wire through which it passes. Hence, the properties of the medium, should not be mistaken to be the properties of the possessor of the medium (God).
God wanted to develop the quality of kindness in the cruel hearts of the people involved in His crucifixion. For this purpose, God selected the best human devotee. The spiritual knowledge preached by Jesus and the miracles done by Him were from God alone. The human being-component alone underwent crucifixion. Whenever any miracle took place, Jesus did not claim to be the performer of the miracle. After performing the miracle, He always expressed gratefulness to God (Father of Heaven), giving all the credit to God alone. Jesus was the immediate-preceding prophet before Mohammed. Mohammed rejected the concept of Human Incarnation in order to avoid such cruel actions from the public that bring a lot of sin to the human beings who do such actions. He Himself was a Human Incarnation of God. In view of the level of cruelty of the surrounding devotees, who were affected by ego and jealousy, He thought that it is better to put Himself at the lowest level, which is the level of a messenger of God. The next higher level above this lowest level is being Son of God. Higher than that, which is the highest level, is of being God Himself. This means that the human medium of the selected devotee and God are one and the same due to perfect merging. Hence, as per the level of surrounding devotees, the Human Incarnation stands in one of these three levels, so that the egos of the surrounding devotees are not hurt. The Incarnation’s claim of being either Son of God or a messenger of God, should not be misunderstood to be the negation of the very concept of Human Incarnation.
