Rumi wrote three centuries later on Al-Hallaj's words, 'I am God, ': \"People imagine that it is a presumptive claim, whereas I find it is really a presumptive claim to say 'I am the slave of God'; for, 'I am God' is an expression of great humility. The man who says 'I am the slave of God' affirms two existences, his own and God's; but he that says, 'I am God, ' has made himself non-existent and has given himself up, and says 'I am God, ' that is, 'I am naught, He is all; there is no being but God's.' This is the extreme of humility and self-abasement.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jabez L.
