What is the difference among the following possible relations between incarnation and devotees?

[A spiritual conversation took place in Hyderabad on 23-08-2021 and was attended by a number of devotees. Some of the flashes of spiritual knowledge that were radiated from Śrī Datta Swami are given below for the benefit of the spiritual world.]

[Ms. Bhanu Samykya asked: Tortoise hatching its issues, mother cat carrying its issues by mouth, issues of fish surrounded by mother fish and baby monkey catching the womb of mother monkey are examples for incarnations and devotees. What is the difference among these three? Is it a sequential order of evolution of devotee?]

Swami replied: The devotee having the aspiration for fruit in return from God will be the example of mother monkey (Markaṭa kiśora nyāya) caught by its baby monkey. The climax devotee having no aspiration from God will be an example of mother cat (Mārjāla kiśora nyāya) carrying its issues by its mouth.

The first example of tortoise (Kūrma kiśora nyāya) hatching its issues is related to the devotee worshipping God, who is not before eyes. This means that even the devotee of contemporary human incarnation staying far from God’s human form can be also blessed by God through miraculous power whenever there is necessity. The second example of fish (Mīna kiśora nyāya) is the case of devotee, who constantly lives in association with contemporary human incarnation. The third example of mother monkey refers to the devotee of Pravritti, who has not done total surrender to God. The fourth example of mother cat refers to the climax Nivritti devotee protected by God. The examples refer to the contexts of the stage of devotee existing independently. No sequential order is possible. The difference between cat and monkey is the difference between Nivritti and Pravritti.
