In a profound story from Chapter 47, Baba demonstrates that even "bone-deep enmity" can be resolved through divine awareness. He encounters a snake about to eat a frog, revealing they were enemies named Veerabhadrappa and Basappa in a past life. Instead of using force, Baba addresses them directly, 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." His words alone were enough to make the snake release the frog and flee. This teaches that a call to higher consciousness can break cycles of hatred that persist across lifetimes.
How does Sai Baba teach us to handle deep-seated enmity, even when it seems impossible to overcome?
