[An online spiritual discussion was conducted on May 15, 2021, in which several devotees participated. Devotees’ questions answered by Swāmi are given below.]
[Śrī Bharath Krishna asked: In a discussion with Dr. Nikhil, I asked whether it is possible for human devotees to recognise a Human Incarnation, who is behaving like a totally ignorant person. Dr. Nikhil said that if an Incarnation wants to act like a totally ignorant person and does not wish to be discovered by devotees, it is impossible for any soul to recognise Him. This is because; God is perfect at whatever He does. If He wishes to act as a totally ignorant person, His acting will be perfect and no one will be able to identify that He is God-in-human-form. Devotees can recognize the Incarnation only if He allows Himself to be recognized. Could You please let me know if this is true?]
Swāmi replied: What Dr. Nikhil replied to you is perfectly true and there is no need for Me to answer more.
