Re: Evolution of Religious Thought
The essence of the statement is that, at anytime interested devotee will find a human form of Lord present on earth. In this way devotee is blessed with four fortunes. To see, to talk, to touch and co-living. Lord comes down to give His direct contact to the interested devotees.
This human incarnation (lord in human form or Satgur not guru) is to be identified with the divine knowledge preached by Him. This knowledge will be special and cannot be preached by any human being. This divine knowledge induces devotion towards Him and bliss in the devotee. This is to be experienced by individuals and then judged without any biasing of caste, religion, creed, nationality, sex etc..

Re: Evolution of Religious Thought
When one is desirous of lord only without selfish intention, He will definitely find Him (human form) only. Our pious desire attracts Him and our selfish bad odour repels Him (Going to satguru is nor for erecting empires and dynasties on earth, in which case we are not eligible to go near to Him). Like any normal human being expects a Satguru, a Satguru expects a Sathsishya (who wants to serve Him without any desire).

Re: Evolution of Religious Thought
pHAT jesus told,I & Father Are Same, Son Of God, Messenger Of God
Let us analyse it;
To a deserving devotee, Jesus told He and His father are one and the same. When Jesus saw a devotee who was slightly affected by jealousy and egoism, Jesus came down by one step saying that He was the son of the God. The word son is indicating that He is different from the God but the same spirit is present in both like the same blood in the father and the son. This means that He is different and smaller than the God but at the same time has the same essence. It is like the relationship between the mighty ocean and the tiny water drop. The father is major and the son is minor component. They resemble qualitatively but differ quantitatively. This is the visishta advaita of Ramanuja.
When Jesus met a devotee who is fully bacterialised by jealousy and egoism He told that He was the humble messenger of God. This is the Dvaita of Madhva. Therefore the human incarnation will declare its level based on the level of the receiver. Mohammad told that He is the messenger of the Lord. Thus there is a gradual degradation of spiritual obedience and the gradual growth of jealousy and egoism. Jesus stands as a transition bridge between the Advaita of Krishna and Dvaita of Mohammad.

Re: Evolution of Religious Thought: Sikhism
Beggar comes to us for what we give. He is not having any love to us. Whereas a relative has not come for our food, he has come to see us. This shows love. Our approach to Lord should be with love as relative but not like beggar, who approaches only for satisfying desires. We should not worship lord only to satisfy our desire. Prayers by words, meditation by mind & spiritual discussions form preliminary level of worship. Devotee should search for Lord in human form to learn divine knowledge and should serve Him in His mission.
