అనగా అనగా ..........

Once, there were two friends in a village by names Ramanna ans Somanna. Both were good friends. One evening both the friends met on the road. Ramanna said “Friend Somanna! There is Hari Kadha [Epic story entertainment] in temple. Let us go.” But Somanna refused it and said “No friend Ramanna! There is a dance program in the Sani Vada i.e. prostitute area. Let us go there and enjoy it.” But Ramanna refused it.

Then Ramanna went to temple to hear and enjoy Hari Kadha. But his mind was with Somanna at Sani Wada. He was thinking about the joy which Somanna was experiencing at Sani Wada. He didn’t hear single word of epic story.

On the other hand, Somanna went to Sani Wada i.e. Sex workers place to enjoy the dance program. But his mind was with Ramanna at temple. He was thinking about the virtuous deed of Ramanna. He didn’t watch single movement of the dance.

Days passed like this. After some years both the friends died on one day coincidently. The angels came to take the soul of Somanna to heaven. The Yama Doothas i.e. soldiers of God Yama came to take the soul of Ramanna to hell. Then Ramanna’s soul asked the yama doothas why they were taking him to hell while Somanna was going to heaven.

They clarified his doubt as “Look Ramanna! You had gone to temple every day but your mind was at Sani Wada only, Such that you done sin and deserve the hell. Somanna had gone to Sani Wada every day but his mind was at temple only, Such that he done virtuous deed and deserve the heaven. What we do with our body is not important than what we feel with our mind.”
This is the story!
