God-Preacher Shri Datta spoke:-

21. When I merge with the medium to appear as energetic incarnation in the upper worlds, I merge with the soul and the external energetic body is also pervaded by Me based on the requirement. When I become human incarnation, I merge with the soul as usual, but, I also pervade the human body (energy and matter) whenever there is a need. When Krishna lifted huge hill on His tender finger, I pervaded all over His body. This is called as the complete miracle since Krishna did not become larger than the hill to lift it. Remaining as a small tender boy, He lifted the huge hill. In this miracle, total failure of worldly logic exists and such miracle indicates Me only.
22. Whenever a demon attains miraculous power from Me, there will be some deficiency in the miracle so that You can identify that I am not in the body of that demon. If a demon has to lift a huge hill, he must become larger than the hill to lift it. This is partial failure of worldly logic because the miracle exists only in the sudden growth of the body and not in the subsequent lifting the hill. An intellectual shall analyze the miracle to find whether I exist in the body of the performer or not. Of course, the growth of the body is due to My will only working through the demon since I gave him such boon for his rigid penance.
23. Hanuman also lifted the huge hill by becoming larger than the hill and He should not be mistaken as a demon getting the boon from Me. He is the incarnation of God Shiva, who is Myself only. But, He is confined to the role of a servant of God. Hence, He showed this miracle with the above said deficiency to show that the servant of God is always lesser than God.
24. Miracles had no significance in the first Kruta Yuga since almost everybody is a blessed devotee of God. As time proceeded, the justice became weaker and weaker and is now weakest in this Kali Yuga. Justice is a measure of My grace on the soul since there is no Nivrutti without following justice. Nivrutti is My total grace and Pravrutti is My partial grace. In this Kali Yuga, almost everybody follows injustice only and hence My grace falling on a devotee to perform any miracle is also very rare.
25. The standards of people have fallen to very low level in this time so that everybody is astonished to see even a small miracle. People have linked any tiny miracle with God only and thus even a demon performing lower grade of miracles appears to be the absolute God to these people. Anything common with everybody has no significance and anything uncommon with everybody has lot of significance. It was very difficult to search for an undeserving receiver in Kruta Yuga whereas it is very difficult to search for a deserving receiver for donation in Kali Yuga!
26. When Shankara passed through the bolted doors and entered the house of Mandana Mishra, nobody gave any significance to such miracle because miracles were very common to the people present in the house, who are the Mandana Mishra, Ubhaya Bharati (w/o Mandana Mishra), Jaimini and Vyaasa. In their place, if these people of today were present, they would have fallen on the feet of Shankara praising Him as God based on that miracle! Those people agreed that Shankara was God only after seeing His knowledge in the debates for about a month.
27. When You take the ocean as simile to Me, the ocean exists in every wave qualitatively as water, but, not quantitatively. It means every wave is not the total ocean. In My case, I exist in every incarnation both qualitatively as well as quantitatively. This is due to My unimaginable power called Maayaa. The possessor of such unimaginable power is called Maayii, who is the unimaginable God existing in Me in merged state forever. The space occupied by My energetic body (called Paramavyoma) will never disappear since I am eternal as the first energetic incarnation of unimaginable God, called Datta or Ishvara.
28. All the miracles exhibited indicate Me only whether the miracle is complete or partial with deficiency. In fact, I am also the possessor of all the imaginable powers (Prakruti) studied by science. I gave up Prakruti to souls and confined Myself to the unimaginable powers (Mayaa) only so that I can have a separate identity. It is just like the father keeping some property with himself for maintenance and giving some property to his issues. All these souls are My issues only.
29. Even though I become various incarnations simultaneously in the same time (keeping each incarnation as complete like Me), I still exist in My original place without disappearance or reduction. You can understand Me only when You recognize the existence of unimaginable power, which is frequently exhibited by Me in this world through genuine miracles. In this Kali age, every soul is giving lot of importance to miracles not with the idea of recognizing the existence of unimaginable God, but, with the only idea that miraculous powers can be used to solve their personal worldly problems!
30. When the scripture says that I am everything in this world, it only means that everything is under My complete control. Scholars of Sanskrit grammar understand this point very easily (Tadadhiina prathamaa). Ordinary human beings misunderstand Me to exist everywhere. By this wrong concept, some people think that they are God since God is everything existing everywhere. Due to My unimaginable power, I am omniscient without omnipresence and I can control everything due to My omnipotence.

31. The unimaginable God has all the merits expressed due to omnipotence, but, has one defect, which is that He can’t be even imagined, not to speak of seeing Him. He is like the full Moon having one black spot. But, this defect also is not of the unimaginable God, but, is the defect of souls, which can’t imagine beyond space. The human being has all defects due to ignorance and has one merit, which is that it can be seen. All the defects of the human being belong to it only with the merit belonging to the plan of God about creating the human being. If the unimaginable God merges with the human being, all defects of both sides disappear and this is the concept of alive human incarnation.
32. The unimaginable God being beyond the intelligence, which is the highest faculty of the human being, nothing can be even thought about Him. This makes the impossibility of thinking about unimaginable God even by the group of great scholars, who are also great devotees liking at least to meditate upon God. The real climax devotees are not satisfied with mere meditation, but, like to see God, talk with Him, worship Him and serve Him also. To satisfy the theoretical devotion of these scholars and the practical devotion of these climax devotees, there is a bare necessity for the incarnation, which is with energetic body in the upper worlds for the sake of energetic beings and with human body on this earth for the sake of human beings. On one side top necessity exists and on the other side God can incarnate in this way due to omnipotence. In such context, it is unimaginable to think about the necessity of anybody putting his dirty finger in this topic to object this concept of human incarnation.
33. The first great sentence (Mahaavaakyam) of the Veda is “I am God (Ahaṃ brahmāsmi)”. This is the statement coming from the mouth of human incarnation like Shankara. Immediately, the atheist asked Shankara that he must be also God like Shankara because he also has alive body with awareness like Shankara. Shankara told him “You are God (Tat tvamasi)”. There is no other alternative to say anything else to the rigid atheist because he will never believe God existing other than human being. In this context, an ignorant fellow like Shvetaketu is selected representing the ignorant atheist. By this, at least, the atheist is accepting the existence of God, which is a tremendous success of Shankara.
34. The atheist asked Shankara that why he is unable to preach the spiritual knowledge and that why he is unable to pass through bolted doors like Shankara. Shankara drank the molten lead and preached that He alone is God (Śivaḥ kevalo'ham) and that the atheist is soul. Shankara told him that he is also God but due to his impure mind, he became the soul and his mind shall be purified by worshiping God with form to become God. Shankara maintained this basic concept of monism in the atheist, which is the greatest attraction that provokes the atheists to worship God with form. It is very difficult for the atheist to worship the contemporary human incarnation (due to his high ego and jealousy towards co-human being) and hence, Shankara showed energetic incarnations like Vishnu, Shiva etc., and past human incarnations like Rama, Krishna etc., in the form of statues for worship. In this context, He brought the third great statement “This alive form is God (Ayamātmā Brahma)” explaining that worship of inert statues is worship of representative models of God, which is sufficient to purify the mind from sins because attachment to God decreases worldly attachments, which cause sins. The God in the form of soul referred here is the alive energetic incarnation or alive human incarnation represented by statues.
35. The atheist became devotee after long worship of the God as statue and came to the impression that the inert statue or photo is God. The devotee has reached a stage of absence of ego and jealousy towards co-human form. Now, Shankara used the fourth great statement “Awareness is God (Prajñānaṃ Brahma)”. Awareness can’t be attained independently without its container or alive body. This means that the word awareness shall be taken along with its container or alive body. If You analyze further, awareness is the meaning of the word ‘chit’ and not the knowledge (Jnaanam), not to speak of exceptional knowledge (Prajnaanam). This leads the devotee to alive human being having exceptional spiritual knowledge like Shankara by filtering the alive bodies like birds, animals and ignorant human beings. In this way, the whole program of Shankara was based on these four great sentences.
36. The atheist turned devotee is still maintaining the basic idea fixed by Shankara (this idea is fixed since it is the highest attraction that provokes the devotee to continue the worship) and now the time has come to reveal the truth at least partially since the purified devotee is at least eligible to digest the partial truth. Now, Ramanuja appeared and spoke that the soul is not God, but, is a tiny part of God. The basic attractive ambition of the soul is reduced from hill to atom. The devotee continued the worship to become at least a tiny part of God.
37. After further long worship of God, the devotee became perfectly purified to digest the perfect dualism with God by which he can remain as a devoted servant of God only throughout his life. Now, Madhva appeared and confirmed the perfect dualism of soul with God. This is the permanent solution for any soul in this world. When the soul has no desire to become God or at least part of God and likes always to remain as servant in the dualism, such soul is selected by God for human incarnation through which perfect monism is granted by God, which was the first desire of the soul!

38. The nectar generated by churning the infinite ocean of spiritual knowledge is only one point, which is our behaviour and attitude towards God. Such point is that we should have the true love to God produced by true spiritual knowledge and such true love is to sacrifice anything or anybody for God without aspiration for any fruit in return from Him. Such unique bond to God is totally different from all the worldly bonds in which we love the other side for some selfish benefit only as said in the Veda. This is the essence of all the divine scriptures present in this world.
39. Among the worldly bonds, the bond with our children is relatively greatest having the above concept relatively to the highest extent. We keep ourselves in the place of children and keep God in the place of parents, expecting that God shall give benefits to us even though we are bad and undeserving. By this, we don’t understand the concept perfectly. If we reverse our places, this concept is well understood. We shall sacrifice everything and everybody for the sake of God irrespective of His behaviour to us without expectation for any fruit in return from Him. We shall be in the place of parents and God shall be in the place of our children.
40. In fact, the name Datta means adopted issue. The adopted issue shall be treated at par with our generated issue and such equality in our attitude never exists in our hearts. A couple, after marriage, couldn’t get issue for a long time and adopted an issue. After the adoption, the couple got an issue. What will happen to the love of parents towards such adopted issue? Certainly, it will decrease or disappear or even may turn into hatred! Suppose the adopted issue became the king. In such case, the parents show extreme false love on the adopted issue in order to get some benefits for self and for the sake of their generated children.
41. This is exactly the case of souls existing in this world. Datta basically means the unimaginable God given to the souls for vision so that the extreme devotees, who prayed God to be available for their service and sacrifice with true love to God, are satisfied. The word Datta also means the adopted son. Here also, the basic meaning stands as it is to mean that a boy or girl is given to a set of parents having no issues. In fact, the name Datta indicates the issue given to parents in adoption in its generally used sense.
42. I, the unimaginable God as first energetic incarnation, called Eshvara or Hiranyagarbha or Narayana or Sadaashiva appeared before sage Atri and his wife Anasuya for their penance. This couple developed a desire to get the God seen as their son. Then, God told them that He cannot have birth being God without beginning and end. God told them to adopt Him as son and hence, I am called Datta meaning adopted son of that couple. Any soul can adopt God as Datta, if the soul becomes Atri and Anasuya by getting rid of three types of ego (ego based on the three qualities Sattvam, Rajas and Tamas. The first type is ego about knowledge, second type is ego about the capability of doing every possible and difficult activity and third type is ego about the firmness in love to be reciprocated towards love irrespective of its deservingness as we see in the case of blind father called Dhrutaraashtra.) and jealousy respectively.
43. After adopting God as the son, the souls shall compare their love towards their generated children and the adopted son called Datta. It will be very clear that how much love we posses towards our adopted son and really generated issues and there is no need of any analysis in this issue because the answer is very clear to the heart of any soul. We don’t have true love (both theoretical and practical) towards our adopted son, the God, compared to our true love on our generated issues. Even if we show love on our adopted son, it is false only since our such love is to get benefits from our king-son.
44. Clever souls developed a wonderful concept that the king is in no need of anything or anybody and hence, we need not serve or sacrifice our omnipotent adopted son-king! To expose their false love, the omniscient adopted son appears in this world in human form (human incarnation) in ordinary level like our generated issues. These clear people developed another theory to neutralise this by saying that the abstract formless absolute God will never come in human form! A rare soul like Yashoda alone showed true love on Krishna, the adopted son, throughout her life. Lot of inner meaning exists in the word Datta!
45. People scold Datta as breaker of family bonds (Dattaṃ chinnam). This means that since we are sacrificing everything and everybody for the sake of God Datta only so that we are not doing any sacrifice for the sake of our family bonds and hence, He broke all our family bonds. This scolding is utter lie because we are not sacrificing for the sake of God at least at par with our generated issues and in such case, how can we say that He is the breaker of our family bonds as if we have sacrificed everything and everybody for the sake of God Datta neglecting completely our family bonds! In fact, we are not sacrificing anything or anybody for the sake of God Datta, who has zero value compared to our family bonds. Even if we sacrifice something, it is purely based on the expected fruit in return from Him through the spiritual business!
46. In older generations, there were some good devotees, who wrote one equal share (in par with children) of their properties for the sake of God. At least, the adopted son-God is equally seen with the generated issues. The generated issues scold parents for such foolish act, who don’t know that the given shares of properties to them will be protected and grow very much due to the grace of pleased God. However, such intention should not be there either in the minds of parents or in the minds of the generated issues, which will be again business only.
