Guest guest Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 Chinna Katha 5 Most of the sants go on pilgrimage from place to place in search of knowledge about culture, religion etc. This is a story about one such sant who was on his way to Kasi. The sant was carrying some precious things with him. A thief found that sant had precious things and came in the disguise of a Sadhu. He joined the sant and they both continued their journey. Every day, the pseudo Sadhu attempted to steel but many people surrounded the sant. One fine day, luck favored the thief in guise of Sadhu; they were given a single room in an inn. That night the thief was waiting for the Sadhu to sleep. After a while, the Sadhu was fast asleep and the robber started searching for the precious things. He searched in the sant's bag, under his pillow. The thief searched almost all paces in the room, but drew a blank everywhere. He was fed up and he also slept. The next day he revealed the truth to his fellow traveler that he was actually a thief and he came to steel the precious things from him. After that he inquired the Sadhu that where did he keep the money. The Sadhu chuckled at it and said that he kept the precious thing under the thief's pillow. The thief got enlightened and never stole any thing after that experience. So, as the thief we search for Him everywhere, we do not realize that God is residing in us. Ayam Atama.
