Our challenge in order to become free from the illusions of the coverings of His temporary material energy, is to be able to recognize Him when He does appear.
Because His energies are unlimitedly variegated He may appear in a multiplicity of manifestations all at the same time, or in other words differently in each of the assembled devotees. Each devotee in the assembly will carry the spirit of Devotion in their heart uniquely, just as uniquely as their unique personal relationship to the Lord is.
Someone in the assembly may manifest Love of God in a way that is unfamiliar to the other members. At this point there can be expected to find some resistance and some testing of the spirit. Even the person manifesting this unique mood of love of God may not be sure if it is actually in the spirit of Love.
Chanting, praying, meditating, personal introspection and seeking answers from the Lord in the heart helps to reveal the actual nature of this new manifestation.
This is revealed knowledge, the answers are not found in books, or rules and regulations, guiding authorities etc. since this spirit is unique to the individual, the individual is forced to take personal responsibility in a unique personal relationship with the Lord.
If it is in fact a manifestation of the Devotional energy of the Lord coming through the devotee all doubts will be eradicated and the tests will be passed in the association of the other devotees who are on the same path of bhakti.
Such association is very wonderful and not easily found at the present time.
