I will explain from your angle how the happening of incarnation should be happening. I can tell you from my own experience, from my angle, how these incarnations happen. When devotees sit in front of me with tremendous devotion or love, I can see very clearly that part of me without my instructions or command just expands and extends to them so powerfully! When any request or prayer comes from such a being, I tell you, nothing is in my control. Simply I can see that I am taking my incarnation in that body. Simply I happen in that body and nobody can stop it.
A devotee recently asked me, Swamiji, I want to live like your Meera. The moment that person asked, I could see the honesty in the prayer..! See, there are different levels of honesty. If your word churns a certain reaction in the throat, that is verbal honesty. There may be hypocrisy inside which you don't know, but to the level of words you are honest. If any word you utter creates intense churning in your heart, you will hold on to it even emotionally. You are honest verbally and emotionally. If you are just verbally honest, anybody can give false information to you and change your opinion. But if you are emotionally honest, nobody can take it away. And if your word leaves a churning below your navel, your swadishtana (spleen center), that is the deepest level. When you are asking, if the churning is in the throat, it is okay. If the pain of emotion or the feeling of what you are asking is happening in the heart, I can say it will become reality, no doubt. But if the churning is below the navel in the Swadishtana, straightaway it will become reality. It will just be reality. When this person asked me, I want to be your Meera, I could see that the churning is from the Swadishtana. I could see the pain of the being, meaning that the being has retired from all other superficial things. It is neither verbal, nor emotional, it is straight being.
When any request or prayer comes from the being, I tell you, nothing is in my control. Simply I can see I am taking my incarnation in that body. Now for her, wherever she sees me, not just a photograph, but even this color, she will be in the ecstasy of Meera just like that! I also blessed her that she will live like Meera, but without Meera's suffering.
