What a beautiful beautiful sentiment! Maha Periyavaa Charanam🙏🏻
Once, a man and his wife from a well to do family in Kerala, had come to Kanchi, for darshan of Periyava. The family property, according to him, could not be divided among him and his brother amicably. His brother, a

rude man (according to him), had gone away and started staying separately without listening to him. Even though he wanted to divide the property and give his brother his due, the brother did not agree to his terms. So he wanted to file a case in the court for a partition. He had

come to seek the blessings of Periyavaa.
"OK! Supposing you file a case, what is the value of stamp paper you have to buy?”asked Periyava.
He mentioned an amount in thousands.
"Lawyer fees?"
Again, he mentioned a large amount.
"In such ancestral property matters, sometimes, you

have to search and get some documents from various departments like the registrar office, etc. If that be the case, how much would the cost be?"
Yes he replied and mentioned an amount.
"OK! But these cases do not get solved soon. How much time, do you think, this case will take?"

"It might take upto a few years also"
"Even when the case comes to an end, it may not necessarily be in your favour, right?"
“I don't think it will be that way".
“OK! We will assume, it favours you. Your brother could go for an appeal. Is it not?"
"Yes, he can".
“They may appoint

a receiver. Right?"
"Possible"
“Then, this matter regarding your esteemed family affair, may be published in the 'Hindu' (newspaper), and the whole world will come to know of it. Is it not?"
The devotee feebly answered "Yes"
"If you go to the court, it will be a waste of money,

waste of time and waste of energy. Your family name will be in jeopardy. Think about it! Think "Even if all this happens, it is OK for me" Is that what you want?"
With whatever intention the devotee came with to Periyava, it vanished from him! But he did not know how to proceed

further.
"I feel that filing a case is not correct. But Periyava should advise me as to how I should proceed further."
“When brothers separate, do they stay in that manner for ever? Who is he and who are you? This is a relationship that will reunite, whatever be the seriousness

of the quarrels. Why don't you try to develop such a state of mind?"
Periyava thought for some time and told him, "I will tell you what you two should do. Buy a lot of fruits and flowers and straight go to your brother's house. Go there with full love in your heart. He, with his

wife will welcome you both and show their hospitality. From the depth of your heart tell your brother,” Let bygones be bygones; Who are you and who am I? Even if the property remains with you, it is as good as it is with me; Since We also have to run the family, give me whatever

you feel like'"
Periyava had resolved the issue amicably. How? With the Power of Love, nothing else. As advised by Him, the couple left with the intention of going to his brother's house. After they went away, Periyava told some people around Him, “When his brother sees them

after a long time and that too, coming of their own free will, half of his enmity will fade away; and if he talks to him in an amicable way, all the enmity will vanish. Without going to the court, his brother will give him what he wants. If we approach others with good intention

and love, the same sentiments will be returned by them." Periyava's advice did not go in vain. Later on news came that everything turned out to be good.
