Guest guest Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 Lord Datta means God given to the world in human form for the upliftment of humanity and hence, He is the highest as far as humanity is concerned from the point of convenience in worship and experiencing Lord. This is also the direct worship of God. He is the only means of reaching/serving/pleasing the Lord. Lord Krishna said it through ‘Vasudevah Sarvamiti…’ in the Gita and Lord Jesus stressed the same when He told ‘I am the only way’. Such, Lord in human form is called the human incarnation. The ‘I’ in the above statement of Jesus refers to the human incarnation of Lord only, who comes in every generation otherwise, He becomes partial for a generation of people, place and time. The scriptures of both Christianity & Hinduism i.e., Bible and Gita support the human incarnation concept through the statements ‘God-in-flesh and Manushim Tanumaasritam…’ respectively. Even in Islam also, Mohammed is treated as a Prophet, which definitely means, He is above normal human beings because all the human beings are not treated as Prophets. The worship of such contemporary human incarnation/Prophet gives the highest fruit as in the case of Hanuman (attained the post of future creator), who worshipped Lord Rama and Gopikas (attained Goloka), who worshipped Lord Krishna. Likewise, the disciples of Jesus, Mohammed Prophet, Buddha, Shankara, Mahavir, Rama Krishna Paramahamsa and Shirdi Sai worshipped the respective human incarnation only as Lord. Worship means not mere words and feelings, but by participating in His mission through service, which consists of donating money & physical service. His mission is only to spread the divine knowledge and devotion in this world and to uplift everybody. In the entire Gita, Lord Krishna stressed that He comes in human form again and again (Manushim tanumasritam, dharmasamsthapana, Yada yadahi dharmascha). The Lord will come in every human generation; otherwise, He becomes partial to a particular generation. If necessary the Lord can come whenever there is necessity as said in Gita (Yedaa yedaahi). If this is understood the God is just beyond your imagination. The God (superself) enters into one of the items of the creation to give its experience to you. If the medium is human form, it will be most convenient for the super self to preach you and receive your love and service directly. The super-self present in the human form is Sadguru who will lead you from the gross body and subtle body to the self and then finally to the super self, which is none-else than Himself. Therefore, identifying and catching the feet of Sadguru is most important than any thing in the world. at lotus feet of swami surya Tony OClery <aoclery wrote: Namaste, Worshipping is something akin to a pet being devoted to his master for the creature comforts, and mental comfort. Essentially worship is outside of oneself and is for those that still imagine that 'God' is somewhere else, ruling and deciding what sin is and what sin isn't etc. This inevitably leads to the road of the charlatan spiritual leaders, who claim to be incarnations/avatars of god or sent by god or some other nonsense. As Ramana says,'if 'god' made the world then let him take care of it'. In the meantime we deal with our own karmas, and belief created karmas that keep us in this illusion.............Tony.
