Difference between God in human form and mere preacher

The actual idea of any festival is to increase your realization of spiritual knowledge

Today is the festival of Lord Dattatreya in the name ‘Datta Jayanthi’. Every festival is mainly characterized by preparing extra food items, by following processions in the streets, by arranging heavy music, etc. The actual idea of any festival is to increase your realization of spiritual knowledge. The right knowledge is with high power. You should assimilate it by thinking it again and again. The first receiving of the knowledge is called ‘Shravana’ (hearing) and thinking it again and again subsequently is called as ‘Manana’ (Memorizing). The third stage is complete assimilation, which is practically implemented.

The first stage in which knowledge is heard is called ‘Jnana Yoga’. In the middle stage of memorizing, power to implement in the form of inspiration or devotion (Bhakthi Yoga) is developed. The third stage is the stage of practical implementation and is called as ‘Karma Yoga’ (Nididhyasa). If the knowledge is true given by Satguru or Human Form of God, it is already having tremendous power and much time is not required for the middle stage i.e., to develop inspiration. If the knowledge is defective as given by human scholars called Gurus, long time is taken to develop the inspiration and often the inspiration is not full and hence, practical implementation does not take place. Truth brings highest power in the knowledge. Once the true knowledge is given by the Preacher, no time is required for the subsequent development of inspiration and subsequent practical implementation. Only practical implementation (Karma Yoga) brings the divine fruits. Of course, we should not neglect the Jnana Yoga and Bhakthi Yoga because both are important to generate Karma Yoga. In the absence of Jnana Yoga, there is neither Bhakthi Yoga nor Karma Yoga. Shankara told that once Jnana Yoga is received, the subsequent inspiration and practice take place without any effort and therefore, the Divine Fruit is achieved. Of course, here Jnana Yoga means the true knowledge preached by God.
