Chapter 47 recounts a powerful incident where Baba encounters a snake about to eat a frog. He addresses them by their past-life names, Veerabhadrappa and Basappa, revealing their conflict is ancient. Baba directly rebukes them, saying, 'You too have come into the snake species, yet the bone-deep enmity remains; At least now, feel some shame, give up the enmity, and stay peaceful.' Upon hearing this, the snake immediately releases the frog and flees, demonstrating Baba's power to intervene and command an end to long-held hostility, showing that such conflicts can persist across lifetimes if not resolved.
Can you share a story from the teachings that illustrates the long-term consequences of deep-seated enmity and how Baba addresses it?
