A traveller of realms












2












$begingroup$



He is mortal to one,

He is divine to another,

He is a slave to time,

And yet he is beyond its grasps,

Incomprehensible to one,

Yet simple to another.




Who is he?



Hint:
He exists in real life.

I think he is




Thor




He is mortal to one,




mortal for his own realm




He is divine to another,




but divine for people on earth




He is a slave to time,




He cannot escape time as he will grow old as his father




And yet he is beyond its grasps,




he can travel through his gate(a warm hole) avoiding the huge time (and not very sure though, time in asgard is relatively very slow as compared to earth)




Incomprehensible to one,




to humans




Yet simple to another




i.e., to his own people

    Wow, you are really, really close. The time aspect is still a bit off, but the first and last two are matching in terms of what I was trying to get at. Keep it up ;)

Is he:




The Doctor from Doctor Who




He is mortal to one,




He "dies" every so often...




He is divine to another,




... only to be reincarnated as the new Doctor Who




He is a slave to time,




He moves through time...




And yet he is beyond its grasps,




...but he's a time lord.




Incomprehensible to one,




Play on the name Doctor Who...




Yet simple to another.




... but he's simply a good guy trying his best to right the situation.

$begingroup$

I hesitate to guess this




But I think the expected answer is Jesus Christ. The clues refer to Jesus' dual nature as God and man and this is either simple or incomprehensible depending on whether or not you believe. If this is the answer, though , I'm not sure it qualifies as a riddle.

    Is it




    The Dalai Lama?




    He is mortal to one,
    He is divine to another,




    Depending on your belief he's either just some guy or a reincarnated religious figure.




    He is a slave to time,
    And yet he is beyond its grasps,




    I think the reincarnation aspect also covers this part.




    Incomprehensible to one,
    Yet simple to another.




    In terms of simple/incomprehensible I think it also comes down to whether you believe or not.

        Hmm... it's a close answer, but the 'slave to time' line doesn't quite apply. Nice guess though.

      I hesitate to guess this




      But I think the expected answer is Jesus Christ. The clues refer to Jesus' dual nature as God and man and this is either simple or incomprehensible depending on whether or not you believe. If this is the answer, though , I'm not sure it qualifies as a riddle.

              Is it




              The Dalai Lama?




              He is mortal to one,
              He is divine to another,




              Depending on your belief he's either just some guy or a reincarnated religious figure.




              He is a slave to time,
              And yet he is beyond its grasps,




              I think the reincarnation aspect also covers this part.




              Incomprehensible to one,
              Yet simple to another.




              In terms of simple/incomprehensible I think it also comes down to whether you believe or not.
