Baba's knowledge about a snake and frog.

Baba used to narrate some stories to the devotees gathered in the Masjid. Mostly they will be in parables. One such story is given here. Baba said, "one day i was moving through a lonely path amidst trees. Pleasant wind was blowing. I wanted to rest under a tree and started preparing "hookah". A passerby came there and sat behind me. I offered the smoke to him. He pleaded with me to accompany to his house for food. Meanwhile there was a pitiable sound from a nearby bush. The stranger asked me what is the sound about. I told him a snake has caught a big frog and both are reaping their past karma. The stranger went there and found that a frog was caught by a snake and the snake will devour the frog in few minutes. I told him I am not here in vain. I will save the frog. After smoking the chilm, we went near the bush. Baba addressed the snake thus. Oh Veerabadrappa! are you not ashamed of your enmity towards Basavappa? Let him go and forget your enmity. After hearing Baba's words, the snake let loose the frog from its mouth and thus the frog was saved by Baba. The stranger was wondering at the Omniscient Baba. He asked Baba, "Who is this Veerabadrappa and Who is Basavappa? Baba started telling him about the story which will be continued in next blog.Sairam.
