Madhusudan Naidu gives an insight into Swami's observations regarding Human Desire!

In this narration, the reader is told about a conversation between Swami and a renowned medical practitioner. The doctor thanks Swami and says that it is because of His blessings that more people seek the doctor's service. In reply, Swami puts forward the enlightening concept of how desire leads to misery among mortals. Madhusudan Naidu also mentions the part where Swami says that He Himself out of love bestows only good things. He is a source of only the good while the negativity and problems in the world are purely a creation of human desire.

Few days ago, a leading endocrinologist, who has many eminent people as his patients, came to Swami and spoke about how one of his patients who is the founder of a global software giant, was appreciative of the Seva done by Swami.

Swami: “Oh! You have all these great people as your patients!”
Doctor: “Swami, you have given them to me.”
Swami: “Oh! I don’t give patients, I give the greatness to them, but they become patients”.
It was a small talk apparently, but had a deep meaning.

We ask Swami for greatness, which He lovingly bestows on us. But, our limitless desires make us forget our true purpose and in the pursuit of further greatness, we end up as patients, spoiling our health and our bodies, which are such precious gifts of God, given to achieve the true goal of our lives - to realise our divinity!

Swami says often - “Shareera Madhyam Khalu Dharmasaadhanam”. (Body is given to practise our true Dharma!)

Madhusudan Naidu shares an incident where Swami's trust in His devotees is made evident.

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
