While many devotees considered Maharaj a divine incarnation, how did he typically refer to himself and what does this reveal about his self-perception?

Despite many devotees viewing him as a direct incarnation, Maharaj consistently presented himself with great humility. The source material in Chapter 0 clarifies that he never took divine authority upon himself. He would call himself a "banda," meaning a servant of God, and his common blessing was "Allah bhala karega" (God will do good), attributing positive outcomes to a higher power. Instead of proclaiming "Anal Haq" (I am God), he frequently uttered "Yaade Haq," which means "I remember/meditate on God." This demonstrates that he perceived his role as one of devotion and service rather than claiming divinity for himself.
