In considering Lord Datta to be our Son, is there not the risk of trying to control Him?

[An online spiritual discussion was conducted on April 03, 2021, in which several devotees participated. Some of the questions of devotees answered by Swāmi are given below.]

[Śrī Bharath Krishna asked: Pādanamaskāraṃ Swāmiji! You always say that we should consider Lord Datta as our Son and not as our Father. But generally, a father behaves as if he owns his son and controls him. What if we develop the same attitude towards Lord Datta, while considering Him to be our Son?]

Swāmi replied: God Datta will be happy to tolerate the control of devotees on Him provided they sacrifice service and fruit of work as in the case of the son. Perhaps, you are putting this clause to escape from the sacrifice and to cover your defect! Anything based on real love is enjoyed by God with pleasure.
