Why I am not declaring Myself as Present Human Incarnation

 

At the time of departure to Bombay, Mr. Antony asked Swami “Why don’t you declare yourself clearly that you are the present Human Incarnation”?

 

Swami replied “Buddha did not speak even about God and therefore, there is no question of the topic of the human incarnation. Therefore, Buddha was safe. Mohammed denied the concept of human incarnation and declared Himself as only the Messenger of God. Any body can be become Messenger and therefore, Mohammed was also safe. Lord Krishna emphasized on the concept of Human Incarnation through out Gita, but Krishna told that He is the Human Incarnation only to Arjuna and not to any other person. Therefore, Krishna was also safe. Jesus told that He is the Human Incarnation by telling that He and His Father are one and the same. He told this to many people and this news spread everywhere. This statement is in Bible and Bible is His message given to the public. For this statement He was brutally killed. Now, if I state the same in the present time, crucification may not be there due to improved legal atmosphere, but people will laugh at Me and will say that I am mad and should be admitted into a mental hospital. Of course this does not mean that I have accepted and stated that I am the human incarnation. Assuming that I am the Human Incarnation I am telling this. Let this not be taken as My declaration. This only means no human incarnation will declare himself as God after the crucification of Jesus. Since then God is terribly afraid of such declaration. Therefore, even if I am the real human incarnation I will not declare it. If I am not the human incarnation I should not declare it. Therefore, in any case I cannot declare this.

 

The identification of human incarnation is the most complicated subject because of several hurdles in it. The first hurdle is that people are generally affected by the egoism and jealousy. A human being never likes to accept another human form as God. Even if some human being conquers his egoism and jealousy and accepts it, it is only temporary. It is impossible to smash the egoism and jealousy. You can only reduce them temporarily. When Krishna taught Gita, Arjuna accepted Lord Krishna as the Lord, but just after eighteen days, Krishna asked Arjuna to get down from the chariot. Arjuna was reluctant because he expected Krishna, the driver, to first get down and then only the charioteer shall come down. It is the question of prestige of a charioteer in presence of soldiers. Just in eighteen days the egoism and jealousy grew in Arjuna and he forgot Krishna as the Lord. By eighteenth day he treated Krishna as driver only. Therefore, only one in thousands will accept the very concept of human incarnation for this reason. Even if one accepts this concept, he likes to limit it to the past dead human incarnations only. Unless one conquers his egoism and jealousy completely, one cannot accept the present human incarnation standing before his unclothed eyes. Therefore, only one in thousands accepts this concept of present human incarnation and starts to search for the address of the present human incarnation. This is told in Gita as “Manushyanaam Sahasreshu…”. Thus this verse refers to the devotees who are searching for the then human incarnation. This verse does not refer to the devotees who search for God because several people are theists and investigate for God. This verse says further “Kaschit Maam Vetti…”. This means only one in such devotees can identify the present human incarnation. This means though you have conquered your jealousy and egoism and though you are searching for the existing human incarnation, there are several hurdles before you identify the present human incarnation.

 

What are these hurdles? As I told the first hurdle is your own egoism and jealousy. You may say that you have conquered them and therefore you are investigating for the present human form of Lord. Though you have conquered, your victory is only temporary. They are the two sleeping snakes in your heart. They will rise at any time and bite you. Therefore, you must try for a permanent conquer and thereby to destroy them forever. Then only the first hurdle is removed. Assuming that you have destroyed them, before you reach Him still there are several hurdles. The priests of the temples, the preachers of ethics and puranas and Scholars who preach the philosophy are the hurdles. They will not allow you to proceed, who wash your brain on the way. They are against the present human incarnation. If you reach the present human incarnation, they will loose income and fame from the devotees. They are earning money and fame by singing the glory of the past human incarnations. In fact, while Jesus was alive these people were His main enemies and the reason is very very clear. People started following Jesus who opposed the collection of money in the church. These people killed Jesus who was obstructing their income and fame. Even after the death of Jesus these people misinterpreted the statement of Jesus that He will come again. Jesus meant that He would come again and again in every human generation to give the same divine opportunity to every generation because He was the impartial God. If this meaning is accepted their income and fame will be obstructed in every generation. Therefore, these people misinterpreted the meaning of this statement by saying that Jesus will come only at the end of the world. When the world is destroyed even if Jesus comes, there will no problem. By this interpretation they have cleared their way of business till the end of the world.

 

The followers are also congenial for such misinterpretation because of their inherent egoism and jealousy to accept the existing human incarnation. Therefore, there was a co-operation from both the sides. Assume that you have passed this hurdle also. The next hurdle is false human incarnations that will trap you for the same reason of income and fame. Of course these false incarnations are based on the will of God only. He tests your scriptural knowledge by which only you have to identify the real human incarnation. They are just like the wrong answers present in the multiple-choice question. The same examiner who gives the right answer creates the wrong answers also to test the power of your discrimination. The discrimination results only if you digest scriptural knowledge with perfect logical analysis. Then only you can eliminate the fraud incarnations like wrong answers. Poundraka Vasudeva was such false incarnation, who looked like Narayana wearing the same dress and the same weapons. Krishna was not having the same dress since He was having His own special peacock feather on His head. Instead of weapons He was carrying on a flute. Both these are not with Narayana. The main identification of Lord Krishna is only Gita. Veda says that the Lord is characterised by His own special divine knowledge, which cannot be preached by any other human being in that generation (Satyam, Jnanam…., Prajnanam Brahma). These fraud incarnations are like the artificial diamonds, which resemble the original diamond in many properties.

 

The artificial diamonds glitter with seven colours just like the original diamond. But, the refractive index of the original diamond is very high and a scientist can only identify it. The false incarnations also preach knowledge. But the power of the knowledge of the real incarnation is very very high. Your self aided by your intellectual logical faculty (Buddhi) can only be convinced and get cleared from all the doubts only by such special divine knowledge (Prajnanam….). One person who was very close to Me posed a big problem through a question. He told Me “I have analysed your divine knowledge after hearing the knowledge of several divine preachers. My inner self is completely convinced by your knowledge only. This means you are the human incarnation. I doubt , you have given such procedure to Me by which the result falls on yourself only”. Then I replied “I have given you all the procedure as given by the sacred scripture, Veda. I have also given equal position to your logical analysis before accepting that procedure. The scripture along with logical analysis gives the correct result. If the result falls on Me, what shall I do? Shall I change the Scripture? Shall I say that there should be no logical analysis? To avoid Myself as the result, shall I say that the person who does not convince your inner self shall be the human incarnation? You can put your logic and if there is a logical question on the analysis of the scripture, I can answer that. If you are convinced by all means, I cannot help it”.
