One should not be tempted to become human incarnation

[dattaswami]

One should not be tempted to become human incarnation

The human incarnation means the existence of God in the human being

You will not get any advantage by becoming human incarnation and will not get any disadvantage by remaining as its humble servant

 

You should not be tempted to become human incarnation since no extra undue advantage can be obtained by you by becoming human incarnation. The service rendered by you to God in the human incarnation gets the same fruit, whether you internally serve God as human incarnation or externally serve as a devoted servant. No extra advantage will be shown on you since you are serving internally. Similarly, your sin will be punished equally whether you are serving Him internally or externally. Your sin will not be neglected since you are the human incarnation and your merit will not be also neglected since you are existing outside as a devoted servant.

 

The human incarnation means the existence of God in the human being. The human being means the inert human body as the tree with the individual soul as its owner-bird. The God, the ultimate owner of all birds and all trees, lives on the same tree along with its owner-bird as said in Veda (Dvaasuparnaa…..). The sin of the individual soul, which is the owner-bird of the body-tree will be equally punished as the sin of the bird of any other tree. The merit of bird of any other tree will be rewarded in the same way.

 

Rama is the human incarnation in which the individual soul exists merged with God. Rama killed Vali hiding Himself and this sin belongs to individual soul and Rama received the punishment of this sin in the next birth, born as Krishna. Hanuman is an individual soul existing out side as the servant of Rama and Hanuman was rewarded with the post of God. Therefore, there is no discrimination between the souls regarding punishment or reward. The soul in which God exists by merging punishes the same soul for its sin. The teacher takes disciplinary action against his own son in the school even though his son lives with him only the same house.

 

The teacher gives I st mark to any deserving boy even though such boy stays outside his house. Therefore, you will not get any advantage by becoming human incarnation and will not get any disadvantage by remaining as its humble servant. In such case, your jealousy on human incarnation is also meaningless. Hence, you should concentrate on the merits of your sacrifice and service only avoiding the aspirations regarding all the fruits including the fruit of becoming human incarnation.
