Madhusudan Naidu shares an incident where Swami speaks about finding oneself in God.


Here we taken to an incident that occurred while Swami was taking a walk with some of his devotees
inside a National Park in the USA. Some of those present were concerned that the party was following
an incorrect route. However, Swami assures them that none can get lost in the presence of God.
Madhusudan Naidu facebook further explains this by saying that a man finds his true self only when
he is in communion with God. In the absence of God the process of self-realisation is impossible and
in the absence of self-realisation man shall always remain restless.
It was during the walk in the woods, literally, as we went to see the ancient Redwood trees in the Col
Armstrong Redwood National Park in the Santa Rosa County of California, that a few devotees who
were following Swami thought that Swami had taken the wrong trail and got themselves worried.
Swami, who though apparently had never been to this park, seemed rather confident as He took the
other route and kept walking.
An anxious devotee tried to correct Him but in vain, as Swami just did not seem to listen and kept
walking ahead, leaving others with no choice but to trail behind.One of the enthusiastic youth
members in the group exclaimed, "Oh! With Swami, we will never get lost in the forest."

Swami was quick to reply, "With Swami you will never get lost anywhere in the world."
Overwhelmed, the youth burst out, "Swami, I only want to be lost in God."
And pat came to the reply from Swami, "You cannot be LOST in God, you can only be FOUND in
God."Madhusudan Naidu facebook


It took a while for me to understand the profundity of that statement.
Isn't it in His presence alone that we become truly what we are meant to be? Isn't it only in His
proximity that we lose all our false identities and find our true nature? Isn't it only in Him that we lose
ourselves only to find our true selves!

 Yes indeed, one can only be found in God!madhusudan naidu facebook

In this account we see a tired Madhusudan Naidu being chided by Swami on account of his lack of self-confidence. Swami firmly reminds Naidu that He knows what His disciple is capable of. It is the trust reposed in us by the Lord that helps us overcome our inhibitions and surmount the hurdles laid before us. A man may be incompetent, but with the presence of God, nothing is impossible. The Lord knows us better than anyone else and when He repose trust in us then there is no reason why we should lack confidence in ourselves. madhusudan naidu muddenahalli Way back in 2011 in the early days, as Swami was guiding me to go and meet people whom I had never met, to visit places I had never visited, to do things I had never attempted, one day tired and exhausted, I returned from the airport, after several trips across the country madhusudan naidu .

Madhusudan Naidu takes us to a conversation between Swami and a few of us close followers. The central theme of the conversation is the Educate One Teach One (E1E1) programme that was being implemented with the collaboration of the alumni of Swami's institutions. Here again we see Swami granting others an opportunity to be part of His Mission. He is delighted by the fact that many of the alumni have actively come forward and offered their services. God rejoices in the good deeds of His children. It is through our deeds that we become the Children of God.

Madhusudan Naidu takes us to an incident where Swami reveals the benefits of offerings.

Image
In this account we see Swami responding to an innocent question raised by a little child regarding fire offerings. The child is unable to comprehend the logic behind it. Swami displays the finesse of a Divine Teacher as he explains to the child a most profound truth in the most simplest manner. He reveals the fact that nothing offered to God can go to waste and that He returns everything multiplied. He also stresses the fact that any offering made to God is complete only when one makes it with love. Madhusudan Naidu is left in awe once again by this simplification of a most profound truth. It was during the Navarathri Homa and Dussehra Yajnam 2017 that a child rose on his knees while Swami passed by during Darshan and put forth a very sincere question, madhusudan naidu “Swami, we are offering ghee, sarees and several other expensive articles into the fire, is it not getting wasted? Instead, the same money could be better utilised for serving more poor people.” Swami paused i
