Direct entry and entry of power of God
106) Gitah svapraveshah shkterapi taadaatmyam naavasaraat.

(The direct entry of God into human form is clearly mentioned in Gita. Even in the case of liberated souls charged by His power, He identifies with them fully and direct entry is not there due to no need only).
In Gita, God has mentioned clearly about the medium for His direct entry to be the human body only (Manushim tanumashritam). He did not mention the other living forms like fish etc. The liberated souls also preach and this possibility is also clearly mentioned (Jnaaninastattvadarshinah). The Lord also said that there is no difference between Himself and such liberated soul (Jnaanitvaatmaiva). He also stated that such liberated souls involved in preaching are very dear to Him (Priyohi..), since they are His best devotees (Bhaktaastetiva..). The Lord identifies Himself with them in all aspects and He did not enter directly since there was no need for lower levels. Except this one point of absence of need for direct entry, God treats such liberated souls as full representatives of Himself.
