For the destruction of the wicked, for the protection of the good, and for the establishment of righteousness, God takes incarnation. To destroy the wicked, to protect the good, this does not mean that He kills the evil-doers and does not let the good be killed, as good people also die. Also protection does not mean that the good people's body remains ever unharmed and youthful. It means – "to protect their "bhaava" (i.e their inner being, their soul, their feelings and sentiments and their disposition). In the eyes of the devotee, the body has no value. The thing of significance is the devotion and worship of God (Bhagwad bhakti). Mansoor and others who had taken steps towards God, cheerfully accepted being hanged. There is no honor of this body. It has been called "ekaantvidhyamsishu". It is the kind that will only perish, the thing that will get destroyed. "pindeshu naasthaa bhavanti teshu" God incarnates and conducts His divine plays. The devotees singing the glories of those divine plays remain ever blissful. This cannot take place without incarnating. Reflection and talks of God continue on, His divine stories and play continue on. This is possible only due to His incarnation on earth. Then while singing the praises and glories of the Lord, devotees are able to cross this ocean of worldliness and continue to stay afloat. God recognizes the fundamental nature, therefore He incarnates in this world and engages in divine play, and for this same reason the saints and great souls are engaged in talks about God.
Tava kathaamrutam taptajeevanam kavibhireeditam kalmashaapaham |
Shravanmangalam shrimadaatatam bhuvi gunanti te bhooridaa janaah ||
(Srimad Bhagwat 10/31/9)
Those who talk about Your nectar filled stories, listen to them, think of them, they are "bhooridaah." They are the kind to give a lot, so they are both givers and takers. Let us say that they give to the listeners and simultaneously listening they take in. The listeners are benefited, then are the speakers not be benefited? Surely they are. Therefore, God incarnates and engages in his divine play, thus what is protection of the devotees?
The tresure of the devotees is God. They share God's divine plays, they listen to it, they contemplate on it - in reality, this is protection of the devotees, and for this reason Hanumanji's "Prabhu charit sunibeko rasiyaa" God is eagerly and passionately awaiting to hear about the divine plays of His own nature and His own ways. It comes in Valmiki Ramayana, that when the Lord began to go towards His divine Abode, then Hanumanji said he will not go along with the Lord. As long as Your (the Lord's) sacred legend and divine tales remains on Earth, till then I will live here. Wherever Your sacred and divine stories are being told, there I will go and listen. Hanumanji became greedy for Lord's sacred tales and was willing to even part with God. On seeing the Lord, Garudaji became infatuated. Seeing the Lord, Kaakbhushandi also became deluded. The same happened with Naradaji who too became deluded. Seeing the Lord, Sati too became deluded, and after listening to Ramayana, her delusion was gone. Same with Garudaji, on listening to the account of the Lord's personal life, his delusion went away. You all already know this. Therefore greater than the Lord, is the account of His personal life. That itself is the protection of the devotees, that they continue to be engaged in talks about the Lord and His legend. Our brothers who want to be on the spiritual path, they think that let us have an association with a great soul (a mahatma). If the saint is of a high caliber, then let us be affiliated with him. This is their feeling, and this sentiment is alright, it is proper and fitting! However, if the same thought-process is used by the great men (mahatmas), then they will be looking for association of someone of a higher caliber then themselves. They will be associating with God only. Then who will rack their heads after us? (to be continued)
