Q) What is the significance of the present human incarnation?

Swami replied:

When you read the scriptures which are the discourses of past human

incarnations, you will get so many doubts for clarification. The original Lord

is not available and we have to depend on the fellow human beings for

clarifications. Suppose you are studying a correspondence course. When you get a

doubt you have to depend on your classmate who is studying the similar course.

He is not competent to clarify your doubts and you will be poisoned by the wrong

interpretation. Suppose you are studying the same course in a college and the

lecturer is explaining in the class. Whenever you get a doubt, you can ask him

then and there itself and you will surely get the correct interpretation in the

correct moment. The clarification is important in the correct moment because

without clarification the latter part of the lecture may not be understood or

may be misunderstood. Such facility does not exist with the past human

incarnation and past scripture. In this light only Jesus modified all the

Old Testament and gave correct interpretation as and when the people were

asking Him. If Jesus is not in the present generation, He must be blamed with

partiality towards that generation. God is impartial and comes in every

generation.

The present generation is very much blessed because of this facility of

computer technology. You can clarify your doubts through this computer system

without any strain in the journey. All the divine preachers in this world are in

contact with God and are doing the divine preaching to various levels. Their

preaching may be mixed with some ignorance and it is not a fault because such

mixing with ignorance in various proportions is required to various lower levels

of human beings. The knowledge without any trace of ignorance can be grasped

only by very few top most devotees. The number of research students under a

professor are very few. Therefore the direct human incarnation is recognized by

a very few top level devotees only.

The number of elementary school students are always many and the number of

elementary school teachers are also many. As you rise in the level, the number

of students and the number of professors become lesser and lesser. Therefore you

should not aspire for a large number of followers. For the direct human

incarnation there will be only very few deserving devotees of such top level.

But such top devotees are spread here and there in all over the world. Therefore

there is a necessity for propagating the top most divine knowledge of the top

most human incarnation all over the world. But the number of followers will not

be top most and it will be least only. Jesus said that His path is very narrow

and only very few people travel in it. Lord Krishna told in Gita that one in

Millions only can perfectly understand Him (Kaschit Mam Vetti….). Therefore

the aim of the top most human incarnation is not to have a large number of

followers which is impossible. The aim is only to see the top

most knowledge reach the few deserving devotees who are spread all over the

world here and there. If you wish to have majority as followers the divine

knowledge has to be adulterated with ignorance. The naked truth should not be

exposed in such case. Diamonds are always in few in number whereas the gravel

stones are many.

The lower level devotees and the lower level school teachers should not be

criticized. The levels of school, college and university are obvious due to the

existence of various human beings in the corresponding levels. Therefore you

should not criticize the students of school and college. Today you are a student

of university. But one day you were in the school and in the college. Without

the guidance or the school teacher and college lecturer you could not have

entered the university. The direct human incarnation of the Lord is the top most

Professor who is having a few post graduate and research level students. Being

the Head of university, the schools and colleges are affiliated to the

university working under His headship. It is the huge system of divine

preachers. The school teachers and the college lecturers are working under the

guidance and will of that professor only. The system is split to suit the

various levels and there is no split in the preachers. The whole system

of divine preachers is perfectly working due to the grace of that supreme

preacher only. There is no split in the preachers. Mixing up ignorance is

inevitable and is done according to the level of the students.

the teacher was doing, they wouldn't need a teacher, would they?
