"Do not think that saying 'I am God' is proclaiming one's greatness. It is actually total humility. Some one who say's 'I am the servant of God' infers two - God and himself - whereas someone who says, 'I am God' negates himself. He relinquises 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 in the water."
