God can enter two human bodies at a time

When God becomes the human incarnation, He enters into a human body as said in the Gita (Manusheem Tanumasritam). The word asritam means the entrance of God into the human body. Another verse in the Gita clearly states that God is not modified into the human body which means that God has not become the human body (Avyaktam vyakti mapannam). The current entered the wire but the current is not modified into the wire. The current has not become the wire. If God became the human body, God should also perish when the human body perishes. When the divine work is over, God exits the human body. When the Lord left the body of Krishna, it was cremated by Arjuna as said in Bhagavatam. Therefore, you should not think that a particular human being is God. God has not become that human being. God only entered that human being. God can enter any human being provided the human being is eligible for His entrance and is suitable to His work. God can enter two human bodies at a time for two different works.

The fan is moving and at the same time the electric bulb is glowing simultaneously. The same current has entered the fan to give air and entered the bulb to give light simultaneously. God entered Rama and Hanuman simultaneously. Through Rama God wanted to show the path of ideal human being (Pravrutti) and through Hanuman God wanted to show the path of practical devotion (Nivrutti). The first criterion for His entrance is eligibility which can be achieved through practical devotion. The proof of love is only service as said in the Veda (Sayuja Sakhaya, Kurvanneveha). The second criterion is the suitable efficiency for the specified divine work. The fan is suitable to give the air but is not suitable to give the light. The bulb is suitable to give the light but not the air. Between these two, eligibility is more important than suitability. If you want to select a person for a job in your office, you must give importance to eligibility first and then only to suitability.

If the candidate has good character without corruption, he is eligible to your service. The talent required for your service can be developed in him by giving a short training. Even if the candidate is suitable with already acquired talent, he should not be selected if he is corrupt. He is suitable but not eligible. Therefore, God selects the human body of a devotee which is eligible by practical devotion. In such case even if the talent is absent, God will grant the talent in a moment by His grace. Therefore, to reach the divine knowledge God selects a particular eligible human being. Such selected human being becomes a scholar in no time by His grace.

Even though several scholars exist who are suitable for His divine work, He will not select them because such corrupt scholars are not eligible. Jesus selected the eligible fishermen to propagate the knowledge but not the corrupt priests who were suitable to the work. Any country develops by selecting eligible candidates and by giving them suitable training for the profession. Therefore, the education must give eligibility and the specific department should give required training. Eligibility comes only by spiritual knowledge. Today the education is giving suitability only from the beginning and forgets imparting the eligibility at any stage. This mistake in the education is responsible for the fall of India. The fruits of programmes of the Government are not reaching the needy people due to corrupt officials, who are selected by the only criterion of suitability that is imparted from their childhood.

As such He is a part of each and every creation of humanity.  We are all related in this wonderful spirit that flows through all of us.

spiritalk;

The Lord also comes in different human forms at the same time for the convenience of people living in different places. Convenience (Sowlabhya) is one of His divine qualities. Everything is possible by His super power called Maya.  Parusurama and Rama were present in the same time.  Vyasa and Krishna were present in the same time.  Akkalkota Maharaj and Shirdi Sai Baba were present in the same time.  In the same time He comes in different forms to preach at different levels, since the devotees in the same time are at different levels.  Even His servants and disciples come down in various human bodies.  He comes down fully along with His whole department.

 Many school teachers, lecturers, and readers are present in His department.  He comes down as one professor because there will be very few devotees, who have reached the top level.  In some human bodies, only a ray of His energy enters and this is called a ‘Kalavatara’ (e.g Sage Vyasa).  In other cases, a part of His energy enters a human body and this is called as an ‘Amsavatara’ (e.g Kapila).  When He enters a human body only for some time, it is called an ‘Avesavatara’ (e.g Parasurama). When He enters a human body and lives from birth to death but reveals Himself partially, then He is called as a ‘Purnavatara’ (e.g. Lord Rama).  When the ‘Purnavatara’ reveals Himself completely, He is called a ‘Paripurnavatara’ (e.g. Lord Krishna). He is the professor and His preaching at the topmost level is the Bhagavad Gita, which is the essence of all the Vedas.

We must remember that the human body of the Lord is not a modification of the Lord (the Lord does not get transformed into the body) and therefore the Lord can leave the body at the end (Avyaktam Vyakti Maapannam). Due to this reason, the body retains its natural properties like birth, death, hunger etc., and these properties do not touch the internal Lord.  The internal Lord is the True Infinite Knowledge as said in the Veda (Satyam Jnanam Anantham). The Vedas are only His preaching (Asya Mahato Bhutasya, Vedaanta Krut).  The Vedas and the Gita are called as Shastras.  Shastra means that which is spoken by the Lord (Tasmat Shastram).  Therefore any human incarnation of the Lord at the professor’s level, will definitely quote these Shastras as said in the Gita.  Scholars also may quote these Shastras but their preaching results in a headache.  

The preaching of the Lord gives bliss in your heart since the Veda says that God is bliss (Aanando Brahma).  Lord Shankara and Mandana Misra argued for 21 days.  Both quoted the Shastras.  But the knowledge of Shankara gave bliss not only to the audience but also to Mandana Misra. Therefore Shankara was considered as the incarnation of Lord Shiva. Shankara entered the house of Mandana Misra even though the doors were bolted from inside.  He used His miraculous power since nobody opened the doors in spite of His several calls.  The incarnation has all the super powers but uses them only when it is absolutely necessary.  He does not exhibit His powers for fame or to attract people.  If He were to do so, people would catch Him and press Him for granting them boons that they do not deserve.  He gave His super powers even to the demons since the powers are like His jewels (which can be donated to anyone).  However the demons could not get His characteristic property, which is the divine knowledge.  Therefore great sages did not accept the demons as God even though the demons exhibited several miracles.

If the spirit is God, why would He need human form?  Any worship of a human God is worshiping humanity, rather than a higher source or power.

FROM VACANT SPACE TO THE PRESENT HUMAN FORM

The atheist says that God does not exist.  For him God is nothing i.e., vacant space.  This is the first stage.  When he sees miracles he becomes the believer in God.  He accepts God as some power or energy.  The power or energy is also formless, like vacant space. So the concept of God is near to his previous concept and thus the atheist (Scientist) accepts the formless (Nirakara) God very easily.  The third stage is God with form (Sakara).   In this stage statues in the human form are introduced.  The training is given to do the sixteen upacharas (services) to these statues in human form.  This training indicates that they have to worship the God in human form in this way.  The sixteen upacharas are actually related to the human form only.  For eg: the first upachara ‘Aavahanam’ means invitation corresponds to the human being only and not to inert statue.  The statue in the temple is better than the statue in your house.  Why?  Because in the temple the ‘Pranaprathista’ i.e., initiation of life is done to the statue.   This again indicates that you have to worship the statue with life.  The concept is the inert statue plus life is equal to human being.  Therefore in the temple the statue indicates that you have to worship the statue with life i.e., the human form of God only.  Like this you are slowly trained to worship the human form of the God by the sixteen upacharas.  In this training when your egoism and jealousy is completely destroyed now the human form of the God is introduced.  Unless your egoism and jealousy are completely destroyed you cannot accept the human form directly.  So the worship of the inert statue in the human form introduces the concept of human form, then the initiation of life (Prana pratishta) introduces the concept of living human form.  Thus this is a gradual transformation of you by reducing your egoism and jealousy.  When your egoism and jealousy are completely removed, the final human form of God is introduced.  Only a particular man like Lord Krishna is God.  This is Advaita philosophy, which is extended to every man due to the same jealousy and egoism.  If every man is God, nobody requires salvation.

Like this when you are travelling from vacant space to formless energy or power then you are accepting the human form but without life which is a statue in your house.  In the same stage you are accepting the statue plus life in the temple, which means only a living human form.  Finally you are catching the God in the present living human form.  Whatever I preached here is having the best practical proof.  Hanuman, the greatest of the human beings in this world worshipped Rama only who was a living human being in his time.  He did not go down i.e.; he never meditated upon the formless God or the statues.  In Valmiki Ramayana such things are not mentioned.  He never worshipped even previous human incarnations like ‘Vamana’.  He worshipped only the human incarnation present in his generation.  Similarly Radha never worshipped ‘Rama’ but worshipped only Krishna who was the human incarnation of her generation.  As per Bhagavatham Radha also never worshipped the statues or the formless God.  Hanuman became Brahma and Radha became the queen of the 15th World ‘Goloka’.  No body in this world will attain a better position than these two.  So your spiritual journey must end in recognizing the human incarnation of God present in your generation.  God is impartial and so He comes down in human form in every generation.  If you say Lord Krishna is only the latest incarnation, then that generation was blessed and God became partial.  Therefore God is coming in human form in every human generation. People are not recognizing Him because after the incarnation of Krishna the egoism and jealousy are growing continuously in all the human beings.  The man did not recognize the God coming in human form after Krishna.  After Krishna and before ‘Kalki’ is ‘Kaliyuga’.  Due to the influence of the ‘Kali’ people are full of egoism and jealousy and so they cannot recognize the human form of God in ‘Kaliyuga’.

God comes in different human forms in the same time in various levels for the sake of devotees in various levels.  He comes as a schoolteacher for the school students, as a lecturer for the college students and as a Professor for the postgraduate students.  Since the school students and college students are large in number he comes down as a number of schoolteachers and college lecturers.  Such incarnations are called as ‘Amsavataras’, which mean the incarnations of a small portion of His power.  The incarnation of His radiation is called ‘Kalavatara’ which is the formless God like light worshipped by some believers.  The light travels as waves and the Siva Linga in the temple represents this formless God.  Since the Post graduation students are less in number only one professor comes down and He is the ‘Pari poorna tamavathara’ i.e., the most complete incarnation, which reveals the final true knowledge.  He is called ‘Satguru’ or the original Datta in the human form.  

Datta exists in two forms.  1) The three headed form.  2) One headed form.  The three headed form indicates ‘Para brahma’ (God) who creates, rules and destroys the Universe by His three faces.  The other single headed form is the external human form in which the three-headed form exists as the internal form, which is not seen.  This is the essence of the ‘Eka Mukha Datta’ (One headed from) and ‘Trimukha Datta’ (The three headed form).   Therefore the Schoolteacher shows miracles and converts the atheist into theist.  The college lecturer trains the theists in the worship of the statues having human form to remove ego and jealousy in the man and make him a devotee.  The last university professor gives the final true knowledge that God comes down in human form only and that He (the professor) Himself is God.
