God, incarnated as man, acts like a man.

 

"God, incarnating Himself as man, behave exactly like a man. That is why it is difficult to recognize an Incarnation. 

When God becomes man, He is exactly like man. He has the same hunger, thirst, disease, grief, and sometimes even fear.

Rāma was stricken with grief for Sita. Krishna carried on His head the shoes and

wooden stool of His father Nanda.

"In the theatre, when an actor comes on the stage in the role of a holy man, he behaves like one, and not like the actor who is taking the part of the king. He plays his own role.

"Once an impersonator dressed himself as a world-renouncing monk. Pleased with the correctness of his disguise, some rich people offered him a rupee. He did not accept the money but went away shaking his head. Afterwards he removed his disguise and appeared in his usual dress. Then he said to the rich people,

'Please give me the rupee.' 

They replied: 'Why, you went away refusing our present. Why do you ask for it now?' 

The man said: 'But then I was in the role of a holy man. I could not accept money.' Likewise, 

when God becomes man He behaves exactly like a man.
