The true God comes down in human form with the true knowledge and His few true devotees accompany him. These few devotees belong to His inner most circles and constitute His family. In Satya Loka (True world; Brahma Loka), He is surrounded by millions of angels and sages, listen to the true knowledge from His mouth. All of them are His followers and they constantly praise Him. After some time the Lord wants some rest and He comes down to earth along with His family. On this earth nobody recognizes Him, nobody listens to Him and nobody follows Him. It is just like a big officer disgusted with the large crowd in his office goes to some foreign place along with his family, where he is not identified. The Lord emits the true knowledge on the earth and His own family members, who are also in the human form, will only listen and follow Him. What is the use of that drama here? Already they were His followers. The aim of this drama is to inspire the people of this world so that at least one person on the earth can become His follower. The Gita says the same (Kaschitmam...). The Lord is not fond of money or fame because He is the husband of the Goddess of wealth [Lakshmi]. He is not fond of fame, because He was bored with the fame as millions of sages and angels praise Him. When the Lord comes as a preacher, He is called the Sadguru. The other human beings are only called as Gurus.
These Gurus are fond of money and fame. They do not know the true knowledge. Even if they know, they will not preach it because not a single person will turn to them. In fact even in the case of Sadguru, the same is the case but His followers, who accompanied Him remain with Him. Therefore the Guru preaches false knowledge following the psychology of ignorant people. To please the ignorant person, you must preach to him strictly following his psychology. Even if you tell him something more, it should not contradict his basic psychology. For example, when you preach to a blind person, he will be happy if you say that there is always darkness in this world. He will be happy since he always experiences darkness. In addition, if you say that there is a sun in the sky, you must say that the sun is also black. He will be happy to get this additional knowledge of the sun because the sun is also black. Suppose you say that there is a light in the world, he will not agree since it contradicts his experience of darkness. Suppose you establish the existence of light and the existence of the illuminating sun through powerful logic, he will become emotional and violent because your concept not only contradicts his experience, but also could not be defeated by his counter logic. It is a double blow on him.
The Kauravas did not concede with the preaching of Lord Krishna for the same reason. The priests of the temple, for the same reason, opposed the preaching of Jesus. Mohammed had to fight with several religious leaders for the same reason. The priests who were killing animals in the name of sacrifice opposed Buddha. Conservative religious leaders oppose even a true scientist. The scientist wants practical proof and logical proof. All the human incarnations never adjusted themselves to the world. They preached the true knowledge only because their aim was the future generations. The opposition of generation is nothing as compared to the benefit to millions and millions of generations on this earth.
When the Lord comes down as a Paripurna Avatara, His devotees who live with Him in Brahma Loka or Satya Loka [highest heaven], come down along with Him to assist in His mission. The other human incarnations who are also present on earth are the human forms into which the power of the Lord enters. Such human incarnations are called Avataras of Kala, Amsha etc. Such incarnations are followed by the devotees present in the lower worlds [lower heavens] below Satyaloka, which are called as Jana Loka, Tapoloka, Maharloka etc. When the Lord Himself exists in the human body, it is called Paripurna Avatara [highest and most complete incarnation of God] like Lord Krishna. In the case of a Purnaavatara [complete incarnation] also the Lord exists in the body, but does not emit the true knowledge e.g. Rama.
Just as human incarnations from the upper worlds come to the earth, human incarnations of Satan (Kali) also come to the earth from the lower worlds below the earth. These worlds are called as Asura Lokas, which are the abodes of demons. These lower worlds are called as intense hells. A soul fallen in these hells is condemned and can never return to earth. There is a hell in the upper worlds also. Such souls, which can be rectified by punishment, will enter that hell in which the Lord is present in an energetic body called ‘Yama’. The Veda says that a soul, which harms itself by turning towards the world, has committed real suicide. Such a soul goes to the lower permanent hells. Thus both the divine and evil forces enter the earth and fight with each other.
In this Kali Yuga [Dark Age of Materialism] the strength of the divine force is only one-fourth. It is like a question with multiple choice having three wrong answers and one correct answer. Lord can destroy all the evil forces in a fraction of a second. But He allows the opposing force because both the forces are essential for the divine game. This world gives entertainment to the Lord like a game. The Veda says that the purpose of the creation by the Lord is only playful entertainment. Moreover, if one succeeds inspite of such multiple-choice questions, the success is real. Whatever the Lord does, it is always multi-dimensional. Therefore, you should not be discouraged by this severe test. Your devotion and determination in the service to the Lord have a real test in this Kali age. Shankara emitted the true knowledge irrespective of various opposing scholars. Finally He was killed by the black magic of Kapalikas. He died by the disease called ‘Bhagandhara’, which is flow of blood. Kapalikas tried to cut His head also. But He never feared and established the true knowledge for the future generations. Jesus, Buddha and Mohammed did the same. Even Swami Dayananda [Arya Samaj] was killed by food poisoning, because he established the true knowledge based on the Vedas and Shastras.
