God will never enter the inert bodies in any case

[dattaswami]

God will never enter the inert bodies in any case

 

When Shankara came down here – He was surrounded by atheists only.

There is no other alternative for Him – Than to introduce formless awareness.

Formless can be even inert energy – Like light or space in the Universe,

But Shankara preferred the awareness – Since, it is the first step

To introduce human form of God – Filtering the inert items of world.

Awareness filters away inert bodies – It confines to the living beings.

Awareness means the field of living beings – The first step of address.

This means that God will never enter - The inert bodies in any case.

 

The inert bodies can be, at the maximum - Representative models of God.

Veda says, “No statue” and says also – “This sun is not that God”.

Sometimes, God comes as a living being – Like the fish to kill a demon,

But He did not preach spiritual knowledge – The fish-form is inconvenient.

 

The human form like Krishna, Jesus etc to preach – As well as to kill the demons

Happens to be most convenient – For the sake of human beings here.

The human being is the second step – In the address of God here.

Only a specific human being like Krishna – Becomes human incarnation.

Krishna is the third step of address – To precisely catch God directly.

City, street and house-number – Constitute the three steps of address.

Living beings indicated by awareness, - Human beings and Krishna

Constitute the three steps of God – In coming down as incarnation.

 

Thus, Shankara started the concept – In the very first step of the address,

At the same time, satisfied atheists – By formless awareness,

Which does not contain human form – Directly though indicates indirectly.

Shankara selected awareness – In spite of its various defects,

To stress on the final human form – Filtering the intermediate statues,

It ends in the contemporary form – Which alone contains awareness.
