Divinity is latent in each and everything. It becomes patent through acts of service and chanting the Lord's name so one should make proper use of these two. Just because you have some education you cannot behave as you like. Through education you must become an ideal person. Valmiki composed the Ramayana, using Rama as the ideal man. He had full faith at the completion of the epic, that Rama was God although in the beginning he thought that Rama was only an ideal man. Tulsidas declared that Rama was God. In the end, he said that He was the noblest and highest human being. Narayana Himself is not separate from the ideal man; He is the Supreme Soul (Purushottama).
Thus Lord Rama behaved as a man but within Him was full Divinity. His body was an instrument just like ours. We take ourselves to be the body, and so we do not recognize Divinity. - taken from Swami's Discourse in Sai Sruthi, Kodaikanal on April 23rd '1996.... Sai Ram
