[Ms. Thrylokya asked:- In recent explanations, You said that son of God is God Himself while the son of man is a man. How can we justify the prior case?]
Swami replied:- Here, God means the unmediated unimaginable God (Parabrahman). The son of this God is the first energetic body created by the unimaginable God. The creator can be taken as Father and the creation can be taken as son. This first energetic body simply called as Datta became God Datta or the unimaginable God Himself when the unimaginable God merged with this first energetic body having an individual soul or awareness. Son of God means God Datta and God means unimaginable God or Parabrahman. We say that Parabrahman (Father) is God Datta (Son of God) after the merge of the unimaginable God with the first energetic body. There is no difference between the original unmediated-unimaginable God or Parabrahman and the mediated unimaginable God with whom the unimaginable God merged and finally called as God Datta. If you take God Datta as Son of God (The first energetic body after merge with the unmediated unimaginable God.), He is the same unimaginable God in mediated state. Hence, the son of God is God Himself.
Regarding the Son of Man called as Man, the sense is different. Here, the word ‘Man’ in Son of Man means a specific man. The second word ‘Man’ means the race of man. This means that the son of a man is also a man because the son also belongs to the same race of humanity. In this way, here also there is no contradiction.
In the human incarnation, the God-component or the Son of God is God Datta merging with a selected human devotee called as Son of Man or human being-component. This contemporary human incarnation shows dual behaviour of God-component and human being-component in its corresponding contexts. When Jesus said that He and His Father are one and the same and also said that if one sees Him, His Father is seen since He lives in the heart of His Father and the Father lives in His Heart, He meant the monism between the God-component and human being-component due to perfect homogeneous merge that is beyond scientific logic. The Veda says that God while remaining as God has become the merged human being also simultaneously (Sat ca tyat ca abhavat). The Jews believing that God is only one, could not accept Jesus as God due to the inherent repulsion between common human media generating ego based jealousy. Every human being has the inherent ambition to project itself as far as possible to become the greatest. In this course, the human being does not like even a greater human being, and needless to say a human being can never tolerate the greatest human incarnation of God, who is different from him/her. Several times, Jesus behaved as human being-component like praying to God and always giving the credit to God (He even told that He as human being can’t do anything unless God wishes.) to neutralize the ego based jealousy of the Jews. Even then, the Jews were having climax ego based jealousy and could not tolerate the monism between God and Jesus, which was declared very rarely just once or twice. This is the reason why Prophet Mohammad, even though an incarnation of God, eradicated this true concept of monism between human incarnation and God and confined Himself as an ordinary human being-component or messenger of God.
