Chinna Katha – Kuhana Sadhakudu

 

It is a nationalized bank. Mr. Somu is an officer in that bank. He

is always busy either with his computer or telephone. Two people

came to his desk for help. They drew the chairs in front of him and

sat. The officer pretended to be busy with his phone and computer

for pretty long time.

 

Right in front of him the two people waited patiently. Finally, the

officer had to turn his attention to them as they have been waiting

for him for a long time. " Yes what can I do for you? " The first man

said " I am telephone repairer; Sir, as you complained that your

phone is not working, I came to repair your phone. " " Sir I came to

repair your computer as you said it is not working " so said the

second person.

 

Kuhana Sadhakudu: Similarly we pretend as if we are busy with our

spiritual sadhana, but unfortunately without any fruitful outcome.

Instead, if we sincerely put our heart and soul in it, then only we

will be successful in our pursuit. There is no point in self-deceit.

Anything done, as sacrifice, charity or penance without Sraddha and

faith in the Supreme, O Arjuna, is impermanent. It is called asat

and is useless both in this life and the next.
