janma karma ca me divyam evaM yo vetti tattvataH

tyakttvA dehaM punarjanma naiti mAmeti so 'rjuna

 

(Gita 4.9)

 

"He who thus KNOWS My divine birth

and exploits in TRUE LIGHT,

having dropped the body,

comes NOT to birth again,

but COMES to Me, O Arjuna."

 

"TREAT NOT the Personalities such as Rama, Sita, Krishna,Radha,

Buddha,Yasodhara and some others as MERE allegorical entities.

They were in body and flesh as you are now.

 

But because of SPIRITUAL PERFECTION they seem MORE fictitious than

FACTUAL.

Iswara and His Incarnations are ONE and the SAME even as the Ocean

and the Waves are.

 

A visitor to a palace can see ONLY SOME portions of it. But the

PRINCE apparent can have FREE ACCESS to ALL parts of the palace.

Likewise Incarnations of God EASILY get into the VARIOUS STATES of

Spiritual Consciousness.

 

It is rather DIFFICULT to COMPREHEND the Infinite sporting in the

finite Human Form.

 

During the advent of Sri Rama it was given to SEVEN Rishis (Great

Sages) ONLY to UNDERSTAND His Divine descent. This way ALL

Incarnations are UNDERSTOOD by ONLY a FEW during Their life time."

 

-Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa

Lord Krishna has also declared in His statements -

 

nAhaM prakAzaH sarvasya

yoga mAyA samAvRtaH!

mUDho'yaM nA bhi jAnAti

loko mAm ajam avyayam!

 

- Gita 7.25

 

'I am NOT REVEALED TO ALL

(especially non-devotees),

as I am VEILED by YOGAMAYA.

 

This DELUDED WORLD KNOWS ME NOT,

the Unborn, the Imperishable!'

 

avajAnanti mAM mUDhA

mAnuSIM tanum Azritam,

paraM bhAvam ajAnanto

mama bhUta mahezvaram!

 

- Gita 9.11

 

This is the WAY of the IGNORANT -

 

'"FOOLS" DISREGARD ME

as One clad in human Form,

NOT KNOWING MY SUPREME NATURE

as the GREAT LORD OF ALL BEINGS !'

 

---------------

 

There is a WONDERFUL description in Srimad Bhagavatham given by

Sri VEDA VYASA, the Compiler of Vedas about HOW Lord Krishna WAS

PERCEIVED by DIFFERENT people EVEN during His Advent!

 

'mallAnAmazanir nRNAM naravaraHstrINAM smaro mUrtimAn

gopAnAM svajanO'satAM kSitibhujAM zAstrA svapitroH zizuH,

mRtyur bhoja pater virADa dUSAM tattvaM paraM yoginAm

vrSNInAM paradevateti vidito raGgaM gataH sAgrajAH '

 

Srimad Bhagavatam- 10.43.17

 

When Lord Krishna, accompanied by His brother Balarama ENTERED the

palace arena of king Kamsa,

 

HE was perceived DIFFERENTLY by ALL those ASSEMBLED there,

ACCORDING TO THEIR DESERVEDNESS and PURITY of THEIR HEARTS.

 

The wrestlers saw Him as Thuderbolt.

 

When they shook hands with Him, and FAILED to bend EVEN a tender

finger of His,

 

they DID NOT REALIZE that HE was NONE OTHER THAN the SUPREME BEING

HIMSELF,

 

possessing more strength than COUNTLESS WRESTLERS put together!

 

The COMMON people SAW Him as an active and intelligent Kid!

 

The young maidens, ENRAPTURED by His Divine beauty,

SAW Him as Kamadeva (god of beauty and love) in Personified Form!

 

The Gopas, Cowherd boys SAW Him as their DEAR MOST FRIEND!

 

His Parents affectionately looked at Him as their Darling Child!

 

For King Kamsa, HE was the VERITABLE GOD OF DEATH, Yamaraja, in

fearful Form!

 

The wicked-minded people saw Him as a gigantic Person with thousands

of heads, thousands of eyes, thousands of hands,

and the flames of thousands of suns leaping out from His mouth!

 

They began TREMBLING with FEAR perceiving this FORMIDABLE form!

 

The YOGIS SAW Him as the SUPREME PARAMATMA, the ABSOLUTE TRUTH!

 

The DEVOTEES of the Yadava clan SAW Him as their Family Deity !

 

The SAME SITUATION WAS described by

Saint Tulsidas in 'Rama Carita Manas'.

 

Sri Tulasidas had taken SPECIAL care to REVEAL THIS FACT!

 

When Lord Ramacandra stood in the palace of King Janaka to lift the

mighty bow of Lord Siva,

 

EVERYONE SAW HIM IN DIFFERENT FORMS ACCORDING TO THEIR INDIVIDUAL

PURITY OF MIND AND HEART!

 

'jAkI rahI bhAvanA jaisI

prabhu mUrati dekhI tina taisI'

 

The warriors SAW Him as the very EMBODIMENT of STRENGTH and HEROISM!

 

The wicked kings TREMBLED at the VERY SIGHT of Him, as they SAW a

TERRIBLE Form!

 

The demons who were sitting there disguised as princes,

BEHELD the LORD as DEATH in PERSONIFIED Form!

 

The WISE MEN SAW Him in His Cosmic Form!

 

To the YOGIS and Saints He SHONE forth as the HIGHEST TRUTH!

 

The DEVOTEES SAW Him as their BELOVED LORD RAMA, the FOUNTAINHEAD OF

BLISS !!

 

The EMOTIONS of Mother Sita Devi WERE INDESCRIBABLE !!!

 

We CAN NEVER PERCEIVE the TRUE DIVINE Form of God (or His Saintly

Associate) with our DEFECTIVE VISION.

 

Sri Tulasi das DECLARES -

 

'cidAnanda maya deha tumhArI

vigata vikAra jAna adhikArI'

 

The DIVINE FORM of Lord can NEVER BE SEEN with MATERIAL EYES!

 

WE REQUIRE DIVINE VISION TO PERCEIVE HIM!

 

WE DO NOT UNDERSTAND HIS DIVINITY and WE CAN NOT ATTAIN the DIVINE

VISION as yet, because WE DO NOT DESERVE IT !!!
