A traveler witnessed Baba miraculously stop a snake from eating a frog. How did Baba explain this event to the astonished traveler?

To explain the seemingly miraculous event, Baba narrated the history behind the snake and frog's animosity. As detailed in Chapter 47, Baba told the traveler that the two creatures were enemies from a past life. The snake was once a wealthy but deceitful man named Veerabhadrappa, and the frog was Basappa. Their enmity began when Veerabhadrappa betrayed the community's trust by mismanaging funds for a temple renovation. Baba explained that he intervened by directly addressing their past identities and the 'bone-deep enmity' they still carried. His instruction to 'give up the enmity, and stay peaceful' was what caused the snake to flee, revealing that the 'miracle' was a spiritual resolution to a long-standing karmic feud.
