"Oka Chinna Katha".Una pequeña historia.
Cuando Bhagavan interrumpe su discurso con estas tres palabras en telugu, que significan "una pequeña historia", todos escuchan con
atención y aguardan con curiosidad, porque la historia que relata a continuación es un destello que ilumina, una lluvia que refresca, un chiste que hace reír, un remedio que alivia, una mirada al esplendor de las epopeyas o a la ridiculez ostentosa; un paréntesis poético, una punzada estimulante, una canción que esclarece la mente y el espíritu, una azucarada píldora de profundidad, una respuesta apaciguadora y una andanada de burlas a la jerigonza religiosa.

Puede ser un relato del pasado o un ejemplo de la comedia contemporánea; puede ser una arremetida contra la disputa teológica o una crítica a alguna autoridad ególatra.
Si reflexionamos acerca de su importancia, el Chinna Katha es un instrumento
efectivo en el proceso educativo que ha emprendido Bhagavan.
efectivo en el proceso educativo que ha emprendido Bhagavan.
Al exponer su discurso, estas parábolas e historias, siempre al vuelo, revolotean en bandadas en el firmamento de su amor; él deja que vuelen hacia nuestros corazones y que aniden allí, hasta que las acariciemos y cuidemos para luego adoptarlas en nuestro pensamiento y en nuestra conducta.
He aquí un ramillete encantador y fragante de estas multicolores kathas para disfrutarlas, meditar en ellas y obtener de su lectura inspiración.

7_DOBLE PRECIO
Un hombre le llevó a un relojero un reloj para que se lo reparara.
Este le dijo que el reloj ya era muy viejo y que por lo tanto costaría mucho repararlo, y le aclaró que el costo sería por lo menos el doble del dinero que había costado originalmente la prenda.
El propietario respondió que a pesar de que costara mucho, deseaba que le reparara el reloj.
El relojero pensó entonces que, si el propietario insistía en que se le reparara el reloj aun estando viejo y muy usado, éste debía de ser de buena suerte. Sustituyó las partes gastadas por otras nuevas, hizo funcionar de nuevo la máquina y le devolvió el reloj a su dueño, y cuando le pidió que le pagara el precio del trabajo realizado, aquél le dio dos bofetadas.
Algunas personas que presenciaron el incidente los entregaron a la policía y al preguntarle al dueño del reloj por qué había abofeteado al relojero, dijo que éste le había dicho que la reparación del reloj costaría el doble de lo que había costado originalmente y como él no lo había comprado sino que lo había
obtenido dándole una bofetada a una persona, por eso le había dado dos bofetadas al relojero.

6. Double the price
An individual took a watch, which was out of order to a watch-repairer. The watch-repairer said that the watch was very old and that it would cost a lot of money to repair the watch. He said that repair would cost at least two times the original price of the watch. The owner said that he would like the watch to be repaired even if it costs so much. The watch repairer thought that, since the owner was insisting on this old and worn-out watch being repaired, the watch was probably a lucky one. He replaced the old parts by new parts, repaired the watch and gave it back to the owner. When asked to pay the price of repair, the owner gave two slaps to the watch repairer. The persons standing by handed him over to the police and when the police asked him to explain why he beat the watch repairer, he said that he was asked to pay for the repair of the watch twice the price he paid originally when he acquired the watch and since he did not purchase it but got it by giving one slap to a person, he gave two slaps to the watch repairer.

"Oka Chinna Katha"_One little story.
When Bhagavan intercepts the speeding current of His Discourse with these three Telugu words, meanings, "One little story" all ears are alert, all hearts are quivive. For, the story that follows is a flash that illumines, a shower that cools, a joke that tickles, a "tablet" that alleviates, a peep into epic grandeur or pompous absurdity, a poetic parenthesis, an exhilarating prick, a lilt that enlightens, a sugar-coated pill of profundity, a disarming repartee, a volley of raillery on religious rigmarole! It may be a tonic tale of the past or the report of a contemporary comedy; it may be a thrust on theological disputation or a dear little dig at some egoistic dignitary. The Chinna Katha, if only we ponder over its relevance, is an effective instrument in Bhagavan's educational process. When He is discoursing, these parables and stories, ever on the wing, hover in flocks in the firmament of His Love; He lets a few fly into our hearts and nestle there, until we fondle and foster them and make them part of our thought and behaviour patterns. Here is a charming, fragrant bouquet of these multicoloured kathas, for our delectation, meditation and inspiration.
