How can the infinite God manifest within a finite human being?

How can the infinite God manifest within a finite human being?

Sushil Chandra Bose, a disciple, asked his Guru, Sree Sree Thakur Anukulchandra, "God is infinite. How is it possible for Him to manifest as a small human being?"

Sree Sree Thakur countered with a question, "Doesn't a matchstick have the power to burn everything on this earth?" Sushil Bose replied, "Yes, if the match ignites into a flame and the flame is allowed to spread unimpeded, it can multiply and continue to spread, turning everything to ashes." Sree Sree Thakur reasoned, "If a small matchstick holds the potential to reduce this vast planet to ashes, why can't the infinite God manifest within a small human form?" Indeed, it was a persuasive argument. Sushil Bose was profoundly struck by this answer.

On another occasion, Sree Sree Thakur stated, "One who possesses power is deemed powerful; one who possesses beauty is deemed beautiful. Likewise, one who embodies Godly attributes is deemed God, regardless of whether one is a human or otherwise." Sree Sree Thakur mentions that there are six such Godly attributes: knowledge, wealth, fame, strength, beauty, and renunciation.

One day, Sree Sree Thakur remarked to his disciple, Dr. Krishna Prasanna Bhattacharya, "Just as anything sweet contains sugar, so too does anyone or anything with divine qualities embody God, regardless of their identity or nature."

If a vast banyan tree can exist within a small seed in a condensed state, why can't the boundless God reside within a small human being?

What a thought-provoking perspective, Surya Prakash! The analogy of the matchstick beautifully illustrates the potential within every individual. How can we harness our unique qualities to embody these Godly attributes in our professional lives? Your insights inspire deeper reflection on our capabilities and purpose.
