The reason for rejecting present incarnation
The existence of present human incarnation is always opposed by priests and scholars. If the Lord is in the human form, every person will reach Him only and respect Him by submitting Guru Dakshina at His lotus feet. Similarly, the persons will go to the Lord in human form to receive the divine knowledge from the Lord directly, which will be the correct interpretation of the divine scriptures. The person will certainly respect and submit Guru Dakshina to the Lord in human form. By this the priests and scholars will neither get money nor fame from the public. Every human being is fond of money and then fame. A poor man strives for money. A rich man strives for fame. Therefore, money and fame are attracting the entire humanity without exception. Even Scholars and saints are after the fame. If the human incarnation exists, all the money and fame will go to the Lord in human form only. The human beings do not like this and therefore, repel against the then human incarnation. Apart from money and fame, people are fond of love and respect. Even the family members will respect and love the Lord and the head of the family can never tolerate this. All these are the real naked factors creating jealousy and egoism in the minds of all the human beings. Just like the light of the Sun, heat of the fire etc., egoistic jealousy is the inseparable inherent characteristic of any human being. Even if one removes this, it lies in the sub-conscious state in hidden form like a seed. Whenever the favourable time comes the seed of jealousy will germinate and the egoism comes out like the sprout. Therefore, no human being can remove this egoistic jealousy permanently. The fever is subsided by the medicine, but the fever will again come in the next season. Again you have to use the medicine. Therefore, you can never eradicate egoism and jealousy completely because it is the inherent characteristic of the human being.
Now what is the medicine? The medicine is only knowledge, which includes the analysis of human incarnation. Whenever the egoistic jealousy flares up like the fever, immediately you must remember the verse in Gita, which is “Avyaktam Vyaktimapannam….”, which means that fools think that the Lord (Avyaktam) is modified into the human being (Vyaktam) in the case of a human incarnation. God is in flesh. This means neither God is flesh nor flesh is God. The Lord said in Gita that He enters the human body (Manusheem Tanumasritam). The word Asritam means entry. The current entered the wire, which means that the current is present in the wire. Neither current is wire nor wire is current. Neither current has become wire nor wire has become the current. The human incarnation is a two in one system. In one kit both tape recorder and radio are present. Both co-exist in one kit. None is the other. The external inert gross body is the kit. The inner subtle body (Jeeva) along with the inner most causal body (Atman) together called as Jeevatman is like the tape recorder. The Lord is like the radio. When the Lord likes a particular human soul (Jeevatman) due to its exceptional divine love, the Lord enters such human body and gets associated with such devotional soul. The Lord comes down to this earth for some work. He needs some residence to stay. Instead of taking a single residence for Himself, He prefers to stay in the body of a devotee so that such association pleases Him as well as the devotee. You have gone to some town for some work. You have a close relative there. You will visit his house and stay with him. By this you can finish your work, you can please the relative and you will be also happy in his association. Therefore, the Lord never likes to create an inert human body for Himself alone during His visit. This concept is clearly mentioned in Veda (Dvasuparna Sayuja Sakhaaya). The word Sakhaaya means that the Lord visits the house of His devotee who is very friendly to Him. Therefore, the Lord enters the gross body of a devotee and stays with him for sometime so that not only His work is done but also He pleases the devotee. This explanation dilutes the egoistic jealousy in several ways. This concept opens the chance for every devotee to become the human incarnation. When the chance is open like this the jealousy gets reduced. A student got gold medal. The chance to get the gold medal was opened to all the students. Therefore, one need not be jealous on the topper. Again when you realize that the Lord is neither the human body nor that human soul, the jealousy goes down. Jealousy comes up only when you think that a particular human body is the Lord. When somebody says that the inner soul is the Lord and not the external gross body, the jealousy gets reduced. But the jealousy continues because that particular soul only is the Lord and not your soul. This verse clarifies that the Lord is neither modified into the external gross body, nor modified into the subtle body and nor modified into the soul. The Lord is beyond the three bodies and is called as Avyaktam or unimaginable. The three bodies are called as Vyaktam or imaginable items of creation. Therefore, the Lord never becomes any human being and no human being can become the Lord. This is the philosophy of Madhva, which pleases Islam. The memory of this knowledge acts like a medicine to subside your egoistic jealousy. You can never suppress it by force. If it is suppressed by force, it will re-jump with a million times of force.
When it is suppressed you will regain your normal health, which is the devotion. The current might have pervaded all over the wire, but still current is current and wire is a wire. But you can treat the electric wire as the current. You recognize the current by a shock. The wire is giving shock. Therefore, the wire is current. This concept is explained in another verse by Gita (Vasudevah Sarvamiti…). Both these verses are not contradicting each other. The first verse should be used to suppress the jealousy and the second verse must be used to worship the human incarnation with devotion. You have to use the antibiotic to kill the bacteria. You have to use the tonic for gaining strength. Both are medicines in different times of context. One kills the life and the other improves the life. The life of the bacteria must be killed and your life must be improved. It should not be vice-versa.
