Shankara Ramanuja Madhva and Dattaswami

When Ramanuja came, the disciples were theists with reduced ego and jealousy. Therefore, He introduced the concept of human incarnation of the upper word called as Narayanana.

 

If the human incarnation of this world is introduced, people will not accept due to their remaining ego and jealousy. Narayana is human incarnation of energetic body and not materialized human body. The medium of Ramanuja was visible energy where as the medium of Shankara was invisible energy. The concept of human form has further reduced the ego and jealousy but still a little remains. Then came Madhva, who introduced the materialized human incarnation of this world as Rama and Krishna. If the contemporary human incarnation is introduced, people will not accept the concept due to remaining traces of ego and jealousy. Hence, the past human incarnation of this world was only introduced by Madhva. He took Hanuman as the best spiritual aspirant who served Rama, His contemporary human incarnation.

 

A little common sense indicates that you have to serve the present contemporary human incarnation only and not the past human incarnation through photos and statues. The photos and statues are inert and your service to these objects cannot be the service to God because God is not inert. Everywhere, you have to remember Shankara, who said that God is awareness and not inert. If the last remains of ego and jealousy are totally removed, you can introduce the contemporary alive human incarnation for service and this last step of the concept is preached by Datta Swami (Myself). All these are steps of progress in the spiritual effort of an aspirant and the preacher must preach according to the stage in which the disciple exists. Unless you examine and estimate the percentage of ego and jealousy in a human being, you should not preach the spiritual knowledge. After estimating the percentage of ego and jealousy only, you have to preach the corresponding relevant step of knowledge and you should not reveal the whole concept also. You should give impression that the relevant concept of a particular stage itself is the ultimate knowledge. You should introduce the next stage of concept only after observing further reduction of ego and jealousy.
