[Ms. Laxmi Thrylokya asked: When the human incarnation comes to Earth, You said that He covers Himself with full ignorance to get real entertainment. How the human incarnation is different from the ordinary human being having the same full ignorance?]
Swami Replied:- Both human incarnation and human being face the absolutely real world only. The human being is a tiny part of the world and the world is by itself unreal and became absolute real due to the granted absolute reality of the God gifted by God. Due to this, both world and its tiny part, the soul, become absolutely real to the human incarnation. When God merges with a human being (medium) the human incarnation results. The human medium even before the merge of the God is already absolutely real being a part of the absolutely real world. The absolutely real God merged with the absolutely real human being to become absolutely real human incarnation. In such condition of the all-pervading absolute reality in the world only, the entertainment for God in the human incarnation becomes real. Actually, in the absence of the gifted absolute reality of God to the world, the world and the soul along with the human being before becoming human incarnation are inherently unreal. Even though all these three items (world, soul, human being before becoming human incarnation) are absolutely real due to the gifted absolute reality by God, since such absolute reality is not inherent of these three items, these three items are called relatively real. Relative reality does not mean that these three items are not absolutely real and also that these three items are lesser than God in reality. The only difference between God and these three items is: that God realizes His inherent absolute reality at any time whereas, these three items can’t realize their absolute reality as inherent at any time. At any time, God can withdraw the status of absolute reality of these three items completely or partially in performing a miracle or in dissolving the creation respectively.
For the sake of the real entertainment, God never realizes His inherent absolute reality and even if He realizes His absolute reality, He doesn’t withdraw the gifted absolute reality from these three items completely, which stops His entertainment. Only in the case of performing a miracle, God withdraws the absolute reality of a part of the world to allow the miracle to take place. Hence, if you compare the ignorance of human incarnation and human being, the ignorance of human incarnation can be removed by It at any time as per its wish because the merged God and the merged human medium are one and the same. The ignorance of the human being is very powerful and stays or disappears as per the wish of the God. The poor human being, gifted with absolute reality by God, is not capable of realizing its original unreal status without the will of God and hence, the human being always thinks that it is absolutely real! The human being is not realizing that the absolute reality got by him from God is for the entertainment of God and thinks that its absolute reality is inherent for him and hence, concludes that it is the absolutely real God! Therefore, everything including the fate of ignorance depends totally on the will of God. Shankara mentioned this point in the sense of joke by saying that no human being is thinking that it does not exist inherently! (Na ko'pi nā'hamasmīti brūte)
