Swami Samartha Leelamrutam chapter 32 & 33.


Chapter 32 Summary :
    Swami Samartha is omniscient and omnipresent.Nothing can be hidden from Him. He can read each and everyone's mind.When needed He used to reveal  what was going on in His devotees mind.Sometimes He corrected them by being tough. Stories of devotees whom Swami corrected by reading their mind have been narrated in this chapter.Swami's message to all of us as how to correct our self  and be in good path can also be read in this chapter.

Chapter 33 Summary : 

On humble request of Raja Maloji , once Jagadguru Sri Sri Sri Shankaracharya  of Sankeshwar Muth pays a visit to Akkalkot. All the people of Akkallot assembled there to take His blessings.Though not invited, Swami Samartha also went  for Jagadguru's dasrshan  along with Cholappa. As the place was too crowded, none noticed Swami's presence there.However,one old Brahmin noticed Swami and offered Him a wooden seat to sit.Swami sat down with dignity.In spite of the jam-packed crowd Shankaracharyula vaaru could see Swami seated and  was astonished and amazed to see Swami's beautiful divine form.They did not speak to each other but looked  at each other silently. 
In the noon, when lunch was served, few Brahmins objected to sit with Swami Samartha saying- this sanyasi went and took alms everywhere and anywhere and with anybody not bothering about their caste or creed and so He cannot sit with them and hence make Him sit elsewhere and serve Him food and insulted Swami. When the food was about to be served all noticed that food smelled very bad.Few Brahmins realized this  strange incident happened as they disrespected Swami Samartha and informed the same to Sri Shankaracharya.
 As Sri Shankarachrya knew the leelas and the divinity of Swami Samratha, He personally invited Him with due honour to sit with Him and have food.Swami was pleased by His gesture. As soon as Swami sat down to have food, it smelled good and looked delicious .All present there accepted the food as Swami's prasadam and ate to their full.
      By this leela Swami once again showed everyone the true  nature of Avadoota. He preached the Brahmins present there that, earlier caste system had been formed to fulfill few specific purpose of the society those days.Everyone is equal  in the eyes of God.We should never show any kind of differences between each other and wholeheartedly respect and understand each other and all the should mingle like brothers with goodness.All people should be treated equal as God is the father to all.
           
             After 10 years of Swami Samartha's Mahasamadhi (leaving physical form) Sri Sri Sri Shankarcharyula varu visited Akkalkot and worshiped Swami's Paduka's and had written few Sanskrit Slokas on Swami.
From this story it is evident that Swami Samartha is Jadaguru.
