Madhusudhan Naidu recounts an incident where Swami speaks about the limitations encountered by the Divine.

A conversation that Swami has with a devotee after a busy day is discussed in this account.
When the concerned devotee remarks about the hectic activities of madhusudan naidu
that He might have gone through on that day, Swami says that He is capable of doing much more.

He says that Madhusudhan Naidu (who was with him) is his limitation. With a beautiful analogy,
Swami drives home the fact that the Divine actors are limited only the limitations of their mortal
conduits. Understanding this leaves out the scope for human arrogance as it makes us realise
of our insignificance when separated from God.
Swami was walking out of Premdeep for the evening Darshan, after a whole day of marathon
interviews when an overwhelmed devotee prayerfully remarked, “Swami, You have been
working so hard all day without any rest, You must be so tired.” Madhusudan Naidu
Swami smiled at his sincere concern and said, “Oh! I am never tired of loving.
For Mine is Prema (Love), that knows no Shrama (efforts).”


With a chuckle He added, “I can do much more, but he is My limitation (pointing towards me).
He needs to sleep, he needs to eat, he needs to rest, so he is My limitation.
Even if the tank is full of water, only so much will flow as is the size of the pipe.”Madhusudan Naidu
I was flabbergasted. So far I thought that I had done well for the day, but not anymore.
So later when I asked Him how could I do more for Him and not be limited, He simply replied,
“Become Me, for Love knows no limitations.”

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 . I went to Swami's room and submitted myself helplessly at His Feet and said, "Swami I don't think this is possible f

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
