[Shri Anil asked:A muslim devotee (Late Hadhrat Mirza Tahir Ahmad ) want to bring unity of all religions by interpreting following verses of Jesus, Mohammad and Krishna.
1) Jesus's verse- I am the Alpha, I am the Omega
2) Mohammad verse: Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw) is the source and means of people reaching God and in Hadith Holy Prophet claims himself to be the very first, the Alpha
3) Krishna said 'I am the Beginning and the End'.
He interprets that above verses indicate that they are all messengers of God only, not God Themselves.]
Swami replied: I have already clarified the concept of human incarnation in the above part. God enters a deserving devotee and gets Himself identified with the devotee so that such devotee is to be treated as God for all the practical purposes. There is no other alternative way than this (Nanyah panthaah… Veda) because the original God is unimaginable since He is beyond space being its generator. You require a visible medium to see and talk with God directly to clarify your doubts. This provision is accomplished through human incarnation. You should not think that the original God is all pervading cosmic energy. Assuming it as correct (God does not pervade the entire universe), such God is also an energetic incarnation, which is the medium of cosmic energy pervaded by the unimaginable God. In any case, you cannot even imagine God. You can even see God through human form with your eyes. You can also see the above assumed God through cosmic energy with your powerful telescopes. Mohammad is the human being charged by God. Allah is the assumed cosmic energy charged by God. Same is with Jesus and Jehovah. Same is with Krishna and Parabrahman. Since we are in human forms, human incarnation is relevant to us. The energetic incarnations are relevant to the departed souls present in energetic forms. The statements given by the human incarnations may be from the God directly or from the human being possessed by God. You have to decide based on the context. Sometimes the human incarnation speaks that He is God. Such statement is from God directly, but the voice is from the throat of the human being only. The same voice from the same throat may also say that it is the servant of God. Such statement is from the individual soul or human being. Confusion comes since both these statements are expressed by the same voice from the same throat. Such confusion made the egoistic and jealous people to crucify Jesus. If you take the human incarnation as the human being only, certainly, all the human incarnations are messengers of God. If you take the human incarnation as God, certainly all these human incarnations are God only. You can take electrified wire as current for all practical purposes or take electricity and wire as different items.
