Madhusudan Naidu gives us a glimpse of Swami's teaching on Love!

The narrative begins with a comment made by Swami to a lawyer about the incompatibility of 'law' and 'love'. This comment on first notice appears to be something candid. Yet on contemplation, one finds that it is flooded with Swami’s philosophical insight. Madhusudan Naidu recounts the various instances in which Swami out of His boundless love bend the stringent and at times inhuman rules of the law - both natural and human-made. This brings out Swami's conviction that love alone is the true law.
When a young lawyer, working with the Trust, stood right at the door as Swami emerged, He looked at the lawyer and playfully remarked, “Oh, you and I don’t go together. Yours is law and mine is love. Law knows no love, and love knows no law.”Madhusudan Naidu
Though it sounded like a light hearted comment from Swami, yet weighed in gold.
I have seen Him change all the laws, the existential and the ephemeral, for the sake of
Love madhusudan Naidu. Whether in the most extraordinary
way when He beckoned a departed soul back into the body on the plea of a devastated wife,
undoing death and discarding the law of Universe; or when He identified an ordinary boy
on the street as a student of the campus who had dropped out, unable to pay the hostel
fee and took him back half way through the year bending the policies of the Board.
He only proved it beyond doubt that love never knew any law, for love alone was law to Him.

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
