Baba says, “I have come as the obedient Servant of you children.”

The characteristics of being an ‘obedient servant’ as demonstrated by God.

1. He, the Ever Pure One, comes to Earth when it is completely degraded and impure. He comes with happiness to meet His long-lost and now found children even though they are at their most impure, with the worst sanskars, giving each other sorrow and having even committed sins in His name. He still thinks of them as the crown on His head.
2. God is so humble that He uses all His power, His good will to bless others. He comes just once to this physical plane but never uses the opportunity to indulge Himself in the pleasures of this world, to take advantage of the luxuries. Instead, He comes silently in an old ordinary body. No trumpets or fanfare, no photo-ops or big announcements. God says, “I come to meet My children.”
3. God doesn’t turn up His nose when He sees the world and His children, He accepts unconditionally without judgment or condemnation. He transforms sinners into deities not through brute force, through shouting or beating, but through His pure, selfless, perfect love.
4. God says, “I know that the mothers and daughters have experienced a lot of pain and suffering in Ravan’s world. I have come to massage your feet and remove all your tiredness.” He, the Highest-on-High, comes to massage the feet of His children.
5. God says, “I come to fulfill all the pure desires of your heart.” And He does. He fulfills even the smallest of desires that I perhaps had as a child, that was buried deep in my heart and that I no longer remembered- but He did.
6. Even though He is God, He respects the rules of the drama. He can transform the world and souls in a second, He doesn’t need to spend all this time staying in this dirty world but He does. He transforms through teaching, through guiding. He shows me how to think, speak and do through His own example. He uses situations and people to bring out the wrong attitudes and biases hidden in me so that I recognize it and change it. He doesn’t do it for me, rather, He empowers me to make the change myself. In doing so, He enables me to develop qualities such as confidence, strength, faith and courage. He thus decorates me. He never imposes His will on me- He teaches me and gives me the choice to change. He doesn’t lose His patience or become frustrated when I fail again and again. He allows me the space and time to learn. When I don’t understand something He is trying to show me, He simply tries another way and another way; He never gives up on His children. He never forsakes nor abandons them.
7. God puts the children in the front and glorifies their name. He does all the work, enables those who couldn’t speak to speak powerfully and fluently. He gives me creative ideas, enables me to do things I never dreamed I could. But He does so quietly, behind the scenes, without the desire for credit. His goal is to make me look good, make me successful, enable me to gain confidence and power.
8. He comes to this earth when there are many false gods and gurus who claim to be able to perform miracles. They perform these limited tricks to gain attention, fame and wealth. God comes and performs the greatest miracle of all- world transformation from hell to heaven by transforming degraded human-beings into the most elevated deities. He does this based on love, mercy and compassion.
9. God knows that His children will soon forget all that He has done for them at this confluence age, that it was He who made them into the kings of the world and yet, He performs His duty with obedience to the drama, with love and humility. There is no bitterness or resentment, there is not even an expectation of any return. He just is Who He is- Sada Shiv, the Constant Benefactor.
