Janma karma cha me divyamevam yah vettti tattvatah I
Tyaktva deham punarjanma naiti mameti sah arjuna II sloka 9
जन्म कर्म च मे दिव्यमेवं यः वेत्ति तत्त्वतः ।
त्यक्त्वा देहं पुनर्जन्म नैति ममेति सः अर्जुन ।। श्लोक ९
He who thus knows My divine birth & action in true light, having dropped the body, is not birth again, but comes unto Me, O Arjuna
The unborn Iswara puts on the appearance of birth and growth by His divine powers. imilarly the actionless Entity stages holy activities for the good of the world. Those spiritual men who intuit these facts about the Lord are able to live unaffected by the world even as the Incarnation does. Ultimately, while yet in the human frames and after casting them off, those blessed ones get themselves merged in the Absolute. Pondering over the play of the Divine as the human, is a sure menas to get at this great goal.
Treat not the personalities like Rama, Sita, Krishna, Radha and some others are mere allegorical entities. They were once in body and flesh as you aer now. But because of their spiritual perfection they seem more fictitious than factual. Iswara and His incarnation are one and the same even as ocean and the waves are.
A visitor to a palace can see only portions of it. But the prince apparent can have free access to all parts of the palace. Likewise Incarnations of God easily get into various states of spiritual consciousness.
It is rather difficult to comprehend the Infinite sporting in the finite human form.
During the advent of Sri Rama it was given to the seven rishis only to understand his divine descent. This way all incarnations are understood by only a few during their life time.
Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
By what processes did the wise make themselves worthy of comprehending the Divine. The explanation comes in the next verse.
