Reply From Shri Datta Swami to Questions from Mr. Anil
[2016-01-10] 7) Swami, You have described about God’s entry into You in Your knowledge. For the benefit of devotees, kindly please tell us the various trails You underwent in Your spiritual life when You acted in a devotee’s role.
The reply will result in a book because of various experiences in My life blended with God everywhere and the need of elaborate explanation of each incident to clarify the truth without creating misunderstanding. However, I bring to your notice the most important basic concept, which is that I feel Lord Dattatreya entered Me even in the womb of My mother and is existing in Me till this minute. I cannot tell what will happen in the next miniute. If the feelings of ego attack Me like the mosquitoes in this winter, I am finished by the exit of Lord from Me. I infer this initial entry from one miracle once told by My mother to others as I heard it. She told that she got a constant dream in every night throughout the period of pregnancy when I was in her womb and every dream showed constantly temples only till I am delivered. I thought, it was due to the grace of God. Now, I feel that Lord Dattatreya captured Me from the womb itself. Subsequently another miracle took place in My childhood, which I already explained. It is that the knowledge of Sanskrit language and all the scriptures in Sanskrit entered My brain in a fraction of second. I thought, this was also due to the grace of God. Now, I think that Lord Dattatreya, Who entered Me in the womb itself continued in Me in the childhood also. The third miracle was recent, which all of you know. i.e., the emission of unimaginable spiritual knowledge from Me. Only after the third miracle, I confirmed that Lord Dattatreya entered Me even though as I told you that I had an early vision of Lord Dattatreya entering Me at Shrisailam. I thought that vision was also due to the grace of God. I should not confirm the entry of God into Me just by miracles and visions. Miracles happen even in the case of demons. Visions are also given to devotees and sometimes even to demons also. The energetic form of God appears before a demon after his long penance. I confirmed the entry of God into My body only after seeing the quality of this emitted knowledge.
I think that the point here is that I was in constant association with God till now in My body. However, the expression of God took very long intervals of time like My stay in the womb of mother before birth, childhood and recent time. I think that the Lord was in Me even before the birth and waited for the proper time for the expression of spiritual knowledge, which alone is His main aim. You wanted to know the experiences of the human being component of this incarnation. Since the human being component exists separately in all the life time, there is no need of a separate time in which God did not exist in Me. The metallic wire is the metallic wire without change in any of its properties even during the time of the existence of electricity in it. Hence, the presence of God does not interfere with My qualities and experiences at any time since I am the human being from My birth till My death. The human being is not transformed into God (Avyaktam Vyaktimaapannam – Gita). The human being is amalgamated with God and God identifies Himself with the human being internally as well as externally (Antarbahishcha... Veda). In spite of such homogeneous monism, the separate individuality of God is always maintained. In a homogeneous alloy of two metals, the identities of the two metallic atoms are retained, which is the simultaneous dualism in the monism. The followers of Islam should note that human being did not become God by transformation. The human incarnation, Mohammed, rejected the concept of the human incarnation in view of the crucifixion of Jesus, just the prior human incarnation, before Him since the ego and jealousy of the humanity leads to such violent results. Both simultaneous monism and dualism are required on both sides. On the side of human incarnation: 1) Monism between God and human being is according to God-component, which identifies with the human being perfectly. 2) Dualism between God and human being is always required for the human being component to maintain God in itself. On the side of the devotee of human incarnation: 1) Monism between God and human being is required for the devotee to get the eternal grace from God existing in the human incarnation. The devotee should feel the human incarnation (appearing as human being only) as God to get the full spiritual benefit. 2) Dualism between God and human being is also required for the devotee now and then. A devotee, sometimes, may slip from the monism due to ego and jealousy. In such case, this dualism expressed by the human incarnation acts like a medicine for the devotee to get rid of ego and jealousy. The expression of dualism by the human being-component pacifies the ego and jealousy in devotee and leads him slowly to the monism. Otherwise, the devotee may slip forever from the monism rejecting the human incarnation, which alone is the available God due to relevancy of the medium. Thus, both concepts are useful for both the sides.
To express all My experiences as a devotee, all My life from birth to the present day must be explained, which makes the answer to become a book. However, I will keep this in My mind and will take the opportunity to explain at least some important experiences now and then in My future messages whenever the context appears.
