Ms. Bhanu Samykya asked: Because when God is homogenously mixed in that medium, then medium becomes absolute God in every sense. So, is there any hidden importance to that physical medium in looks as to why God chose that physical medium? In case of human Incarnation, every cell is pervaded by the same absolute God only. It is said that God Brahmā designs the face and shape of a body, who is none other than Lord Datta only. So, is there any speciality in designing that physical look of human incarnation which has been chosen to show devotees of this creation as form of God? -At Your Divine Lotus Feet, Bhanu Samykya.]
Swāmi replied:- The attraction towards human incarnation is through the excellent and unimaginable spiritual knowledge, which alone helps any soul to develop in spiritual line. The physical form is not important at all because the attraction shall be based on the internal beauty of the incarnation, which is knowledge and divine qualities. Sometimes, physical beauty also appears as in the case of Kṛṣṇa in the context of spiritual program involving ‘sweet devotion’ (Madhura Bhakti) of Gopikās. For every aspect of the incarnation, there is a strong requirement in the fixed program of God, which is unlike the case of ordinary souls. The smart-attractive face of God Kṛṣṇa is for the divine program of Gopikās and the furious-frightening face of God Narasiṃha is for the divine program of threatening demon. Hence, in case of incarnation of God every small aspect has the requirement of the divine program concerned with that incarnation. Kṛṣṇa can appear as Narasiṃha and Narasiṃha can appear as Kṛṣṇa at any time. The unimaginable God existing in these two divine forms is one and the same, who is the absolute reality whereas the name and form are relative realities.
