Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

Just like Lord Jesus Christ, he said that, "I am son of God." So he's representative of the Supreme. And similarly, Hazrat Muhammad, he also identified himself as a servant, padat hi bandhaḥ, a servant of the Lord. So this is the position, that whenever there is discrepancy in the natural law of our constitutional position, the master, the Supreme Lord, either He Himself comes in incarnation or He sends some representative to inform us what is actually the position of the living entities. So this is explained here by Lord Kṛṣṇa, yadā yadā hi dharmasya glānir bhavati (BG 4.7).

We should not think that my service in the material world and my service in the spiritual atmosphere is the same. No. It is not the same. We, we are shuddered, "Oh, after liberation, we have to become a servant? Oh." We shudder, because we have no idea that what sort of servant is in the transcendental world. In the transcendental world, there is no distinction between the servant and the master. Here is distinction between the servant and the master, but in the transcendental world, in the absolute world, everything is one. Therefore there is no distinction between servant and master.

For example, we are speaking on the Bhagavad-gītā. Just see the position of Kṛṣṇa. He has taken the position of servant, chariot driver of Arjuna. Arjuna is practically, in his constitutional position, he is the servant of Kṛṣṇa, but in behavior we see, sometimes the Lord becomes the servant of the servant (CC Madhya 13.80).

So we should not carry the materialistic idea in the spiritual . . . although anything that we materially experience is a perverted reflection only of the spiritual life . . . so that constitutional position, which cannot be changed, which is called dharma, in order to pre . . . when that is deteriorated by contamination of matter, at that time, the Lord Himself comes as incarnation or He sends some of His confidential servitors.

And similarly, Hazrat Muhammad, he also identified himself as a servant, padat hi bandhaḥ, a servant of the Lord.
