The epics are creating very high spiritual inspiration. What do You say?

[Shri JSR Prasad asked:- Sāṣṭāṅga namaskāram Swami. I feel that Rāmāyaṇam, Bhāratam and Bhāgavatam are well-read, which are creating very high spiritual inspiration. Swami, what do You say? --At Your divine holy lotus feet]

Swami replied:- I agree that these three divine epics are very well churned by devotees always. The devotees are getting several advantages like the churners of ocean got several divine items like horse (Ucchaiśravāḥ), elephant (Airāvata), divine tree (Kalpavṛkṣa), moon etc., as gifts. But, I feel that these devotees are not getting the ultimate truth shown in these three epics. Such ultimate truth is mentioned in the Bhagavad Gita, which is that God comes down as human being by merging with a human body (Mānuṣīṃ tanumāśritam). Even though, God is often coming as human incarnation in every generation, He is not only not recognized but also insulted due to ignorance of His inner divinity (Paraṃ bhāvamajānantaḥ - Gita). What is the use of such endless effort and what is the use of such secondary gifts when the main ultimate aim is not fulfilled?
