God Realization through His Creation

 

In a play someone takes on a disguise, then at that time he does not

reveal his true identity to everyone. If he were to do so, then the

play would be spoilt. Similarly, when God incarnates on this earth,

then He does not reveal Himself to everyone. He does not expose His

real identity, His Self - " Naaham prakasha sarvasya, " (Gita 7:25).

If He were to reveal His real Self, then He would not be able to

engage in this divine play. Just like a friend of an actor, becomes

scared on seeing the actor's disguise, then the actor friend in a

subtle way reveals his real identity to the scared friend - " Oh!

Don't be scared, I am the same one. " Similarly, seeing the

manifested form of God, a devotee becomes scared, then God reveals

His true identity - " Brother! Do not be afraid, I am the same one. "

 

There were two friends. One lodged a temporary stall, like a

squatter in the market for shoppers to look and purchase. Another

one dressed as a policeman, went to him and reprimanded him " Oh! why

have you put up this stall on the streets? Immediately get your

things together and move out of this place, or I will report you in

to the authorities. " ON hearing this, the squatter became really

scared, and began to quickly close shop. Seeing him so scared, the

friend disguised as a policeman, says - " Oh! don't be afraid, I am

the same one - your friend " Similarly in front of Arjun, God

manifested in His Universal form and Arjun was scared. When God

revealed His true identity, then Arjun was at ease.

 

From one perspective, God's manifestation (in the form of Avataar)

is eternal. As a spiritual practice for spiritual aspirants, this

creation is a manifestation of God (avataar) and God can be realized

through His creation.
