I feel betrayed by someone who misused funds meant for a common goal. What does Baba's wisdom say about such long-lasting disputes?

The teachings in Chapter 47 address the enduring nature of conflicts born from betrayal. The text presents a story where a deep enmity between two individuals, Veerabhadrappa and Basappa, carries over from a past life into their current forms as a snake and a frog. This 'bone-deep enmity' originated from a dispute over a temple renovation where a manager misused community funds. Baba's instruction is clear: 'At least now, feel some shame, give up the enmity, and stay peaceful.' This shows that such disputes can have karmic consequences and that divine wisdom encourages breaking the cycle of resentment to find peace, rather than letting the conflict fester across time.
