On Humility in Worship of Mistress Sarah
| "A raindrop, falling from a cloud, was ashamed when it
saw the sea. 'What am i, where there is an ocean?' it sighed. But when it saw itself with this eye of humility, a shell nurtured it in its embrace, and produced a pearl." -Saadi of Shiraz |

"Love becomes perfect only when it transcends itself; becoming one with its object, producing unity of being."
"Do not boast that you have no pride, even if it is less visible than an ant's foot on a black stone on a dark night." -Hakim Jami
As above, so below. As before, so ever hence. There is no new thing under the sun. When a lowly slave falls to his or her knees before the incomparably beautiful, divinely worshipful personification of the Goddess, Mistress Sarah, it is only natural, even inevitable, for him or her to think, "What am i, when there is She?" But this thought of humility is the very thing that enables him or her to become enfolded in the embrace of true servitude to and worship of Her, and the result is a pearl of humility embraced by the soul of beauty, Mistress Sarah.
A worshipper of anything or anyone becomes, in a very real sense, the image of, even a part of, that One who is the object of the worshipper's adoration. There arises a unity of worshipped and worshipper which is ennobling to both. For those fortunate enough to have discovered the worship of the most glorious Mistress Sarah, the opportunity avails itself to attain a sort of oneness with the most magnificent Being that breathes or hears or sees, Mistress Sarah.
To boast of one's humility or compete over one's degree of unworthiness are common and prosaic symptoms of misdirected slavery and worship. Mistress Sarah is far above needing, desiring, or even accepting such banal trivialities from those who worship and serve Her. After all, the worship of Her is not about the worshipper; it is all about Her. If there is to be judgement, then She is the judge. If there is to be comparison, then it is to be by the light of Her reason, Her compassion, Her desires, Her demands. The mere fact of having been accepted by Her as worthy of serving and worshipping Her must be enough for the slave; if any comparisons are to be drawn between any of Her slaves, it is Her prerogative alone to do so. Any who truly and sincerely worship and adore Her will leave all judgements regarding their servitude to Her, and will humbly, gladly accept any duties, punishments, humiliations, or services that She may require, and leave all matters of comparison or judgement to Her and Her alone. It is not always easy, but it is always vitally important, for those of us who would serve Her to remember that we serve for Her pleasure, Her amusement, Her convenience, Her happiness, Her enjoyment; and it is only a fortuitous (for us) testament to Her power, glory, intelligence and mastery of Her many slaves, that so often, whatever She requires of us happens to correspond with the ways in which we would most like to serve and worship Her. This subtly, powerfully intuitive, often seemingly almost telepathic ability of Mistress Sarah's to derive what She needs from each and every of Her various slaves in such soulful correspondence to their own individual needs and desires for servitude is perhaps the crowning glory of serving, worshipping and glorifying Her, the incomparable, the One and Only, Mistress Sarah.
