"Oka Chinna Katha" by Bhagavan Sathya Sai Baba ........
Once when Samartha Ramadas was moving about the countryside with his disciples, those behind, him seeing a fine field of juicy sugar cane entered it and started pulling out the cane, crunching it with great relish. The owner of the field naturally enraged at their behavior and at the loss, to which they were subjecting him, fell upon them with a stout cane. The Master was sorry that his disciples broke the discipline so objectionably drawn by the desire of the tongue for the sweet juice. Next day they reached Emperor Sivaji's place, where a great welcome awaited the guru and his followers. Sivaji offered to attend personally to the guru during his ceremonial bath; when Ramadas undressed, Sivaji was shocked to find broad red marks, indicating that he had been beaten! Such was the sensitive sympathy of the great saint, that he received on his back the blows meant for his pupils; Sivaji sent for the owner of the field of cane; and, when he stood shivering in fear before the emperor and his guru, Ramadas was requested by Sivaji to inflict on him any punishment he liked. But, Ramadas accepted the fact that wrong was committed by his disciples and blessed the farmer, granting him a boon that his lands would be tax-free for ever

Однажды Самартха Рамадас со своими учениками шел по сельской местности, ученики были позади него. Вдруг они заметили целое поле сахарного тростника, они набросились на сладкое лакомство и с удовольствием захрустели им. Естественно что увидев это безобразие хозяин поля набросился на них с толстой тростью в яростью из-за их поведения. Мастеру было очень жаль, что его ученики нарушили дисциплину, не совладав с желанием полакомиться сладким. На следующий день мастер с учениками достигли дворца императора Шиваджи. Им был устроен пышный прием, как и подобает для встречи гуру и его последователей. Шиваджи из уважения к Учителю лично захотел помочь гуру в омовении. и когда тот разделся. император был шокирован, увидев следы побоев на теле учителя. Оказалось, что гуру так любил своих учеников что все побои нанесенные им, он взял на себя! Император послал тотчас же за хозяином поля и тот явился перед ними, дрожа от страха за свою жизнь. Но гуру успокоил его, сказав, что он смирился с тем фактом, что его ученики еще не совершенны в дисциплине и он благославляет хозяина поля, и теперь каждый волен лакомиться там
сахарным тростником!
