[Ms. Laxmi Thrylokya asked: Swami, You are God Datta and You know everything because You are omniscient. But, when we talk with You, You ask our names and other general details which appears as if You are an ordinary person. Do You enact ignorance (with full awareness) or really be ignorant (fully under Māyā)?]
Swami Replied:- When God Datta or Father of heaven comes down as human incarnation, both omniscience and full ignorance are necessary because the devotees dealt are of various levels and various natures. If omniscience is exhibited, it may serve as proof to recognise the incarnation. But, after recognition, the devotee may become egoistic and jealous towards the incarnation. If omniscience is not exhibited, at least the devotee hears the knowledge and tries to follow it based on the divine logic of the incarnation. Hence, the incarnation tries to be a messenger of God only passing on the message from God to devotees. This policy is generally followed by the incarnation towards almost all devotees. This is the safest path. But, in some extraordinary cases, the incarnation may exhibit the omniscience also as a miracle to confirm the doubt. The deservingness of such devotee to whom this miracle is to be exhibited is based on the conclusion of the incarnation, which is omniscient. The devotees having divine background do not aspire for such miracles because they are very sure about the incarnation. Based on this point, Jesus told “those who believe (the incarnation) without seeing (any miracle) are (already) blessed than those who see (miracles to believe the incarnation)”.
