Can a person go to the Incarnation and ask for a miracle or wait until He shows a miracle?

[Shri Bharath Krishna asked: Padanamskaram Swami, While listening to yesterday's satsang, I got this doubt. In Thrailokya Gita chapter-12, You said that in order to filter the fake human incarnations from Genuine Human Incarnations of God, the preliminary test is to see if He/She can do miracles. So, if a person comes to know from a devotee that so and so person is an Incarnation of God, then can such person go to the Incarnation and ask Him to show a miracle or wait until the Incarnation shows a miracle? Kindly answer this question of mine Swami. Your defective servant, bharath krishna.]

Swami replied:- You people shall know to take the implied meanings of the words and not to take only literal meanings of the words. The word ‘see’ does not mean to see something with your eyes only, which is the literal meaning. Suppose, somebody says “you see whether such and such student is up to the mark or not”. The word ‘see’ in this sentence means not to see the student with your naked eyes. It means that you shall examine the caliber of the student by testing him in the subject. The word ‘see’ means ‘to know’ (gatyarthānāṃ dhātūnāṃ jñānārthakatvāt). This means that you shall inquire the devotees whether the human incarnation has performed any miracle, at least once! Even Rama, performed one miracle of turning the stone into lady. When you have heard it from genuine people, it is as good as you have seen it with your eyes.
