Madhusudan Naidu pens down an incident where Swami explains His human instruments.

Here Madhusudan Naidu takes us to a breakfast table in Fiji where observing the variety of people present from the different walks of life Swami reveals the fact that all humans are his instruments. He highlights the diverse skills present to point out that each person has a specific role to play in society. This is akin to the role of different organs of the body. The ability to serve gained through the proper harnessing of one's skills, the urge to serve and the availability to be an instrument in His hands are the things that should be given utmost importance.
As Swami was speaking to the hosts in Fiji over breakfast, He noticed that one amongst them was a singer, another a speaker, one was a doctor, another a lawyer and the lady of the house was a very good cook.Madhusudan Naidu Muddenahalli
Swami said, "See all of you are My instruments of different kinds. One can sing, another can speak, one can treat patients and likewise, another can cook. All are different instruments to do different tasks. Just as a needle has a role, so also the knife. What a spoon can do, a fork cannot. So, every instrument is important in its own way, and one must be happy to play whatever role Swami gives."
"How can we be better instruments of Yours?", asked the youth who was a singer, to Swami.
Swami replied, "You need be pure first, purity is most important, but not enough. You must also have the ability to do the work (looking at the Doctor in the room). She is a doctor with the needed skills to treat the patients; only then she is able to help them. She wanting to help, without skills won't be of any use. Likewise, Nobility and Ability, both are important. But, above these two qualifications to be My instrument the more important requirement of 'Availability'. Only if you make yourselves available to Me, can I use you as an instrument. Thus, availability, nobility and ability are three important qualities to be Swami's instrument."

'Nimitta Matram Bhava Savyasachi, be just an instrument of Mine, Oh Arjuna', said the Lord in the Bhagavad Gita, but our Lord explained how one could be that.

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. Swami got into His car, so did the three of us, namely, Sri B N Narasimha Murthy, Sri C Sreenivas and myself, to go to the Premamrutham Auditorium, for the Alumni Meet 2017 of all the educational institutions. madhusudan naidu muddenahalli The highlight of the event was the E1E1 - Each One Educate One programme which was now being formalised as a registered foundation.

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
