JALALUDDIN RUMI Don‘t think that saying "I am God" is proclaiming one‘s greatness. It is actually total humility. Some one who says, "I am the servant of God" infers two – God and himself – whereas someone who says, "I am God", negates himself. He relinquishes his own existence. "I am God" means "I don‘t exist. Everything is God. Only God exists. I am nothing. I am utter emptiness". This is complete humility not arrogance, but people often misunderstand. When someone says he is God‘s servant, he still sees himself as a doer, albeit in God‘s service. He is not yet drowned in the Ocean of God. When he is, there will be no such thing as 'his actions', only movements of water.
