[Shri Anil asked:- Padanamaskaram Swami. Please give answer to the following questions, at Your Lotus Divine Feet-anil. Kindly correlate following two incidents; God Krishna praying to God Shiva for a son and Jesus praying to Father of Heaven for multiplication of bread for feeding 5000 people who came for the Satsang.]
Swami replied:- The human incarnation of God always acts as a devotee to inspire the human devotees in this world. The message or preaching given to the devotees is that they must rise to a very high level of devotion so that whenever an ethical necessity comes, the devotee shall be at such high level of true love to God that the pleased God responds immediately. Another angle is that the unimaginable miracles of God act as the proof of existence of unimaginable God for the sake of ordinary human beings and especially atheists. If the human incarnation behaves like God, even the devotees will develop ego-based jealousy towards the human form of God, not to speak of ordinary human beings. If God in human form behaves like a devotee, the other devotees get inspired by the devotion without ego and jealousy since He is appearing like a human being and behaving like a human being only. Moreover, the human incarnation is made of two components called God-component and human being-component. All these actions related to the human level can be attributed to the human being-component so that we can easily find no contradiction. The actions of the human being-component are very important because by such actions the incarnation can easily become a friend of humanity to mix freely to remove any excitation so that every human being will freely ask every doubt. God Krishna and God Jesus behaved like devoted human being-components only except in very rare occasions, which demanded the projection of the God-component.
