A TRUE SERVANT OF GOD It is man's responsibility to become a sincere servant of his [true] Master. But if one worships others in addition to God, and expects the same kind of gains and fears harm from them as he expects from God, how can he call himself a servant of God Almighty? A true servant is one whose soul is at rest, whose heart is at peace with the divinity of God Almighty and who is com- pletely free from associating any partners with Him. Such a person considers God-Who pos- sesses all noble attributes-to be sufficient for himself. Through his devotion and sincere ser- vitude, such a person becomes worthy of being deemed a servant of God Almighty. Therefore, here, [that is in the verse aforementioned], refers to a person who is truly worthy of being called a servant of God. 1 The one who submits entirely to the Will of God. [Publishers] -17-
