Why does God come in a human form

Faith, love, and grace
If you constantly chant God’s name, you will get everything, namely, wealth, wisdom, health, bliss, etc. If you have total faith, God will bless you with everything you need. Ravi said he was given medicine. That was created by Bhagavan.
You may question as why Bhagavan builds hospitals when He can create medicines and cure the patients. It is because of the faith of the people in the treatment. Even if a nurse or doctor gives an injection of distilled water, patients are happy and get cured, because of their faith. So, the Hospital is intended for people who have faith in hospitals. Cure is based mostly on the faith of the patient.
God coming in human form is to facilitate people to have the proximity of the Divine, so that He can transform them and give happiness. Only a human can confer solace to the humans. Samepyam (coming closer to God) helps in the final merger with the Sayujyam (Divine). Conversation with Bhagavan solves problems. His darshan helps in the annihilation of sins – Papanasanam.
