The finger that points to the sky is not
the SKY. The idols of Hindus are simply pointers to the ETERNAL TRUTH.
Ignore the finger (IDOL) and look at the
beauty of the sky (Eternal truth).
The sign-board is neither 'Delhi' nor 'Banglore', yet
it can lead us to the DESTINATIONS. The idol is not God, yet it can lead us to
God-realization.
How many waves are there in the Ocean?
Innumerable.
When the sea is calmed, where do the waves
disappear?
The waves neither appear nor disappear
because the waves, in reality, are nothing but the ONE Ocean
itself. The various gods are nothing but the mere appearances of the ONE-God-
CONSCIOUSNESS.
SUN is one.
It looks different from different angles
and distances. As we travel towards the sun, it appears to be larger and larger.
The sun may be watched from a million angles and at billion points, for that
the sun doesn’t become a billion new suns.
Hindus attempt to see (realize) the
God-consciousness at their comfortable levels. An illiterate, a farmer, a
high
school student, a post graduate, a poet, a scientist, a saint and a mystic are
at different levels of their understanding of the Sun (or God). There are
different perceptions of God depending on the intellectual capacity of the
viewers, but the “many views” don’t make the God-consciousness MANY.

Is it possible for God to come in Human form?
How can one argue that the Lord cannot come down in the human form? If He is incapable of doing so, He cannot be omnipotent. One need not argue that though the Lord is capable, there is no necessity of such human form. You may not have that necessity. Are you the only human being on this whole earth? Have you taken the opinion of all the human beings to say like this? There are several devotees who belong to Nivrutti (path of liberation) and desire for the Lord in human form to see (Darsanam), to touch (Sparsanam), to hear the knowledge and clarify their doubts (Sambhashanam) and to live along with the Lord (Sahavasa) for achieving these three for a long time. The main purpose is preaching the divine knowledge and clarifying the doubts.
The statues or photos or energetic forms or space cannot preach the knowledge and that is against the universal observation (perception). Preaching of the knowledge by the human forms of the Lord like Krishna, Jesus etc is observed universally and accepted perception. Such universal observation is according to the rules of the nature. When something is possible through a simple way by following the rules of the nature, is it not foolish to do the same simple thing in the complicated way violating the rules of the nature?
When water is available in plenty from the tap, what is the necessity of producing water by forcing Hydrogen and Oxygen to react with the help of an electric arc? To show the production of the water by this reaction, this experiment can be performed once but not every time whenever water is required. To show the superpower of the Lord a statue or a photo or the energetic form or even formless space may talk once.
But to preach the spiritual knowledge continuously, the Lord need not talk continuously through statues or photos or energetic forms or space. Some devotee might have experienced such superpower in some place and in sometime. Such experience is not supported by simultaneous universal observation.
When you are seeing the moon in the sky, others are also observing the same moon simultaneously. This is required to authorize any experience. When this authorization is absent, your experience may be true or might have been due to some psychological disorder. The existence of such psychic experience is also observed in this world. Therefore we cannot isolate the possibility of these two cases in your experience
Therefore there is a necessity for the human form of the Lord and since the Lord is omnipotent, He is coming down in the human form. There cannot be any further argument on this point. I know you are worried that the Lord is modified into the human body and thus the unchangeable Lord has to be changed. Do not worry about this point, because the Lord is never modified into the human body. He only entered into the human body. The word ‘Asritam’ in the verse of Gita ‘Manushim tanumasritam’ means the entry of the Lord into the human body and not the modification of the Lord as a human body. Lord Krishna in Gita clarified this in the verse ‘Avyaktam Vyaktimapannam’.
