No! , not necesarily. Don't you remember Swami Vivekananda's and Sri

Ramakrishna's last conversation? " The One who was Rama, and the One who was

Krishna, is now, in this body, Sri Ramakrishna. But NOT IN YOUR VEDANTIC

SENSE. "

 

If we are all incarnations (as the word is usually used) why aren't we

worshipped by millions, why are we not emparting Divine knowledge to

Devotees? What you are saying makes no sense on the relative level. On the

Absolute plane there is no distinction but we see things in the relative

plain and as long as we haven't realized God we MUST be on the relative level

.. . . there is no escaping it. The only difference between man and man is

the degree of manifestation of the divine which they possess and how much it

is covered up as Sri Ramakrishna said. A true incarnation of God is the

clearest and highest manifestation of that God. If we are all incarnations,

then why aren't your and my picturesd worshipped all over the world. There

is a big difference between the relative and Absolute plains. i was saying

the word " incarnation " reffering to the relative plain.

Aren't we ALL incarnations of God, striving for that realization? If not, then

what?
