Q178) Whether it is human incarnation or I, the soul, which is pure awareness,
is one and the same. The same cosmic pure awareness is God. Thus, I have an
equal right of heritage from God, like the human incarnation. Should I not treat
every human being as God? Is this not the easiest path?

Ans) The medium in the human incarnation and human being is one and the same.
The medium consists of three bodies. 1) The gross body like a glass tumbler, 2)
subtle body like the waves of water present in the tumbler & 3) the cause body
which is the water without waves. The gross body is made of five elements. The
waves of water are the good and bad qualities (Sattvam, rajas and tamas). The
cause body is pure awareness, which is called as the soul. Thus, the medium is
common in both. But there is fourth item in the human incarnation, God, which
entered the medium. Ofcourse God is invisible and is even unimaginable. But, the
human incarnation gives the experince of God to human being. The human being is
like a wire without current. The human incarnation is also a wire but with
invisible current. The current is only experienced but not visible to eyes. The
wire is visible to eyes. Thus there is difference between human incarnation and
human being. There is no difference between God and
human incarnation. There is only difference in bodies. The body of God is this
universe and the body of human incarnation is the limited human body. Both the
bodies are qualitatively same but qualitatively differ because both the bodies
can be defined by three dimensional space co-ordinates which are called as
volume. But God is beyond space and so one and the same in human incarnation as
well as in the universe.

It is wrong to think that God is pure awareness. The pure awareness is the
finest item of creation. Gita calls it as Para Prakruti. Prakruti means
creation. Scholars have misunderstood that God is pure awareness because God
wished to create this world. They bend God by the rules of creation. According
to the natural laws, anything that wishes must be life or awareness. God can
wish even without being life or awareness. Infact, the awareness is created as a
property of the life by God only. Veda says that God will turn this world into
ash at the end. This does not mean that God should be fire. Therefore, you are
the medium only and you have the right of inheritance of being part and parcel
of the creation but not the creator. Even Hanuman, the greatest soul did not
aspire oneness with God. Are you greater or wiser than Hanuman?

By believing every human being as God, we cannot achieve the fruit, which is the
grace of God. Apart from your faith, that human being should be actually God.
Mere belief cannot achieve the results if there is no truth in the object. If
you have really cold water before you and believe that by touching it you will
get happiness, then only the result is achieved. If you have fire before you,
but if you believe it as cold water and touch it, the desired result is not
achieved. Some people treat their children to be God. Such treatment cannot give
the desired result because the child is not God. You must love God as your child
but not love your child as God. It is only misinterpretation and self-cheating.

If you are unable to climb 100 steps, don’t put the label on 10th step by
writing that it is the 100th step. By such act the 10th step cannot become the
final step. Don’t modify the rule to bring it to your level. Don’t cut the foot
to the size of shoe. What is the use of false satisfaction? Realise the truth
always. You try constantly to reach it. God will certainly help you. Only one in
the class can get the gold medal. But, everybody has a right to try for it. To
get the grace of God and to become His servant is the final goal but not to
become God. Ofcourse, every human being becomes eligible to the grace of God. If
God wishes, He can enter any human body for some divine purpose. During His stay
in your human body, you are one and the same with the God. But, you should not
demand for it as a right. God enters only when the egoism and jealousy in human
being are completely removed. The jealousy and egoism in human being make him
think that he is the human incarnation of God.
Hanuman never aspired to become God. He always remained as a servant of God.
But God made Him the future creator. That means Hanuman became God. He never
tried or even aspired even in the dream. The oneness with God is not inherited
property and also cannot be achieved by any effort. It is given by God to most
deserving devotee whenever there is a need for the divine mission in this world.
That is given based on love and kindness of the God on the deserving devotee
provided there is a need.

Mere awareness, mere love and mere bliss cannot be the integrated criterion in
the recognition of God. There is awareness, love and bliss in the case of even a
prostitute. She has life or awareness. She makes you love her. She gives
infinite happiness. But she is not God, because she is not associated with the
special infinite spiritual knowledge of truth. Wherever such knowledge exists,
awareness, love and bliss follow. Therefore the only integrated sign of God is
such special knowledge which is called as Prajnanam in Veda. Love and bliss are
automatically generated through that special knowledge. Where there is
knowledge, awareness must be automatically associated with it. Therefore such
special knowledge, which is automatically followed by awareness, love and bliss,
is the real sign of God. Mere awareness, love and bliss cannot be divine signs.
This means that only a special human being like Krishna, Buddha, Jesus, Mohammed
can be God and not every human being. If every human
being is God, where is the necessity of spiritual effort?

I am not sure I agree with the above statements. "pure awareness is the
finest item of creation" -Any pramana you have to justify the statement
that pure awareness is created? I am not even sure what you mean by pure
awareness, and what scholars have misunderstood what and which scholar
is this who understood correctly. Can you elucidate these, before
posting more questions and answers?
