How to decide human incarnation?

Nobody should be decided as God based on the mere miracles. Even though miracles establish the existence of God, God can do miracles through anybody. But, mere miracles do not establish the existence of God in anybody, even though any miracle is done by God only. While preaching knowledge, God enters the medium and hence, knowledge is the only identification mark of God. This aspect is stated by the Veda. But, the Veda says that the knowledge should be excellent to the unimaginable level (Prajnanam…). The Veda also says that the knowledge should be true (Satyam Jnanam…). Generally, truth is associated with harshness. Truth alone helps the human being to reach the correct goal. The path to reach God is full of thorns and the path to reach hell is full of flowers. If truth is hidden and the flowery path is shown, the aspirant will go to hell and not to God. Everybody likes to reach God, but, everybody likes to travel in the flowery path only.

In such case, you may show the thorny path partially and encourage the aspirant by bringing the goal forward even though the goal is fixed in its actual place only. Due to the short distance, the aspirant will be encouraged and moves forward. You can repeat the trick again and again till the aspirant reaches the goal. For example, Benaras was a holy centre of knowledge in India filled with several scholars. If you go to Benaras and attain the knowledge from the scholars, you will get realization. Such realization will prevent you doing sins again and by this, your past sins are also excused. In this way, all your sins are destroyed.

To encourage the aspirant to go to Benaras in the initial stage, it is said that if you take bath in Ganges at Benaras, all your sins are destroyed. Here, the goal is brought forward. When the aspirant reaches Benaras and takes bath in Ganges, you should say that if one visits the temple of Vishweshwara, all the sins are burnt. By this, he is encouraged to visit the temple, where he meets the scholars and slowly gets their association to receive the spiritual knowledge. Then it is said if one stays in Benaras forever, he is liberated from all the sins. The permanent stay in association with scholars will certainly transform him and really the goal is achieved.

This is showing the thorny path in bits by bringing forward the goal each time, which is not the truth. However, in this method, hiding the truth is not wrong, since you are leading the aspirant in the correct path only. If you show the flowery path and say that it leads to God, it is wrong. But, some preachers adopt this wrong method because the aspirant is very much encouraged by the flowery path and may donate the preacher heavily in excitation. Such preachers are many in the present time.
