Why is the human incarnation of God not easily accepted? What are the causes for failing in the tests of Datta?

The human form of the Lord, which comes to test you is itself called Datta. People are fond of statues because there is minimum guarantee in the business with a statue. Suppose you give one chocolate to the Lord [in the form of a statue], aspiring for ten chacolates. The ten chocolates that you expected may be granted to you or may not be granted. But at least the one chocolate, which you gave to the statue, must not be lost. This is the minimum guarantee in business, which you prefer in the world. When you offer one chocolate to the statue, it will not eat it. The ten chocolates may come or may not come. But at least your one chocolate is saved. However if you give one chocolate to the human form of the Lord, He will eat it and thus the minimum guarantee is lost.

The factors involved for your success in the tests of Datta are:

1. Can you give more value to the Lord than anything and anybody in this world?

2. Can you believe in the human form of the Lord, who has approached you, completely without any trace of doubt?

Majority of people fail in the first point itself because they are using the Lord to achieve money and happiness for themselves and their families. Such an instrumental God cannot have more value than the money or the family. A very few topmost devotees succeed in the first point. But they too fail in the second point; in recognizing the human form of the Lord and believing in the human form of the Lord completely. Therefore they fail in the second point. Only one in millions and that too in one birth out of millions of births, can succeed in both the points. The Gita says the same (Kaschitmaam Bahunaam Janmanaam). The factors that will help you pass the tests are to catch the Sadguru, who alone can explain the true path from the Vedas and your mental determination, which is attained by you either in this birth or in the previous births.
