Human jealousy and God’s incarnations

[Guest guest]

Man is always jealous of another man and therefore cannot recognize

the human incarnation of the Lord. The first incarnation of the Lord

was in the water as a fish (Matsya) because man could not tolerate

any living being on the earth as the Lord, since he was living on

the earth. As the jealousy decreased, the Lord came as an

incarnation of a tortoise (Kurma) which lives in water for sometime

and on the earth for some time. Then the Lord came as a pig (Varaha)

which lives on the earth only. Then the Lord came as human being but

the face was that of a lion (Narasimha), since the jealousy of a man

is always concentrated on the beauty of the face of another human

being. Then the Lord came as a human child (Vamana) since a man does

not care much (is not affected by jealousy) about a child even if it

is beautiful.

 

Then the Lord came as full human being (Parasurama) who destroyed

the egoism of a man, which is the root cause of jealousy. Then the

Lord came as Rama, but He behaved like an ordinary man so that the

jealousy of men was not aggravated. Then He came as Lord Krishna who

exposed Himself as the Super-Man. For Lord Krishna there were

several enemies due to this reason. Krishna gave knowledge and also

showed miracles. People gave importance to miracles. Then He came as

Buddha. Buddha means a scholar of divine knowledge. Buddhi means

intelligence and knowledge. Buddha never showed many miracles, which

are like associated jewels of the Lord and can be exhibited even by

demons. The last human incarnation will be Kalki, who will finally

punish egoism and jealousy completely.

 

Man—a vegetable biryani:

 

Man was created after the creation of all the animals. Man possesses

the qualities of all the animals as a mixture. He is like

a `Vegetable Biryani'. The cabbage remains as cabbage always and the

potato remains as potato. A tiger is always a tiger and a fox is

always a fox. But man becomes a tiger in one moment and a fox in

another moment. Sometimes man becomes a mixture of a tiger and a

fox. The proportions may vary from one man to another. Thus man is

the most unpredictable living being. Hence his faith cannot be

predicted.

 

The materialistic life must end and a new spiritual life must start.

In the second life the previous bonds are forgotten. In the

spiritual life, only other devotees are your relatives. The blood

relations are forgotten. Krishna gave infinite wealth to Kuchela,

who did not belong even to His caste. Krishna planned to kill

Abhimanyu, who was the only son of His only sister. Thus Krishna can

be said as the real `Dvija'—one who is born again [a person after

his sacred thread ceremony is called a dvija or twice-born] One

cannot become a Dvija just by putting on the sacred thread. Only

when one forgets all his blood relatives and remembers only the

spiritual devotees as his real relatives, does he become a Dvija.
