Why did Krishna need to exhibit both the physical features of Him and the features of the statue to Meera simultaneously?

O Learned and Devoted Servants of God,

[Ms. Thrylokya asked:- When Meera is incarnation of Radha, Radha is pleased, it means that automatically Meera is pleased. What is the necessity for Krishna to exhibit the physical features of the past Krishna and the features of the statue worshipped by Meera simultaneously to please both of them?]

Swami replied:- I defined the incarnation to be a single phase system of human being component containing two components, which are the visible and imaginable human being component and the invisible and unimaginable God component. 22 carat gold looks like 24 carat 100% pure gold only as a single phase (Here, in the context of visibility and invisibility, visible gold shall be taken as the human-being component and the invisible copper shall be taken as the God-component.). But, the 22 carat gold contains both gold and copper metals as components. The 22 carat gold is a solid solution of both metals having average properties of both components, which (the solid solution) is a homogenous mixture only. Pure gold does not have malleability (to be drawn as plates) and ductility (to be drawn as wires) and hence, the 22 carat gold having these two properties indicates the existence of copper in it along with gold (Here, in the context of addition of properties of cheap copper to the properties of valuable gold, cheap copper shall be taken as the human being-component and the valuable gold shall be taken as the God-component.). The properties of copper are helpful to gold for the gold to be drawn into plates and wires. In this way, addition of copper is only to help the gold in making jewelry and not to reduce the value of gold. All this means that a human incarnation has both the properties of God and the properties of human being. The properties of the God-component help in developing faith and devotion on God whereas the properties of the human being-component help the human incarnation to mix freely with the human beings so that excitation and ego based jealousy can be avoided in the surrounding human beings.

With this background, You can understand that Radha has her own properties and Meera has her own properties, even though Meera is the incarnation of Radha. Meera developed the worship of the statue of Krishna from childhood from the view of strict discipline of the dynasty of her family and had no opportunity to meet the contemporary human incarnation. In the time of Radha, such strict discipline did not exist and moreover, Radha was the only daughter of the president of her village. Meera was born in an ordinary poor family and was married to a king! Whatever may the reason, both developed with different psychologies and maintained their individual mentalities in their minds. In a human incarnation also, the divine qualities of God co-exist with different types of human qualities as per the requirement of the program. Even though the same divinity of the internal God exists in both Rama and Krishna, there are differences in the qualities of the media or the human being components since both programs are different. Rama has to act as an ideal human being (Ādarśa mānuṣāvatāra) and Krishna has to act as the omnipotent God (Līlā mānuṣāvatāra). As per the requirement of program, the qualities are selected and strictly maintained in the incarnation. Hence, both mentalities of Radha and Meera have to be pleased simultaneously by the human incarnation of God.
