Our idea of God Almighty (Brahman) was totally misconceived. No doubt all human beings on mother earth were sons and daughters of god. Our soul atman manifested us to cleanse itself of dross impurities within. As detailed in Bhagavad Gita by Lord Krishna, every single human being had a spark of divinity within to reach stage of enlightenment and finally moksha salvation.
Maryada Purushottam Rama in Ramayana gained enlightenment while in exile of 14 years. He was married to Sita whose father King Janaka also was an enlightened one. The guru of King Janaka, Sage Yajnavalkya (composer and compiler of most voluminous Brihadaranyaka Upanishad) was also an enlightened one. Lord Brahma is considered as an avatar in Hindu mythology.
Lord Krishna was practically born an avatar of his era (God manifest in human form). His kundalini awakened fully when he was a child, may be 4 to 6 years of age. The powers manifested by Lord Krishna at such a young age made him an avatar of that era. Enlightenment, the stage of an avatar is manifested by indulging in path of spirituality, yoga meditation. It does not come automatically.
If the enlightened one or the avatar had a family then every individual member of the family must travel path of spirituality to reach God in their lifetime. For an enlightened one the whole world becomes one large family. So was the case with an avatar.
In the entire history of mankind Maitreyi is the only consort who also succeeded in reaching stage of Brahma jnana. Maitreyi was the second dutiful wife of Sage Yajnavalkya. In the entire history of mankind only two ladies till date succeeded in reaching stage of Brahma jnana… Maitreyi and Gargi, the famous philosopher saint in whose memory the famous Gargi and Maitreyi colleges existed in New Delhi, India!
