Be the tool
An evening satsang on humility, grace, and being an instrument for divine will.
"Only what is important for us is to understand and to pray to be the tool."
"Always be aware and pray. Please, God, give me opportunity. Give me a chance to be your tool."
Following opening prayers and chants to the guru's sandals, a speaker addresses the gathered and online audience. He shares a parable about a dog who mistakenly believes it is pulling a chariot, and the story of Hanuman receiving a lesson from a sage about the endless cycle of divine service. The core teaching emphasizes surrendering the ego, becoming a selfless instrument for grace, and performing service without seeking recognition, contrasting this with spiritual showmanship.
