Today's Quarrel Can Become Tomorrow's Peace

“Sometimes brothers fight among themselves, and sometimes they have very friendly dealings. There is no certainty when such changes will take place. Thus I am sure that although today you are fighting, tomorrow you three brothers will be sitting together in peace.

Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrī Caitanya Caritamrta Antya 6.26, translation

What the purport teaches

  • Brothers sometimes fight and sometimes deal very warmly with one another. Their present disagreement is not necessarily permanent.
  • Raghunātha dāsa says there is no certainty when these changes will occur. Hostility can give way to friendly dealings.
  • He expresses confidence that the three brothers will sit together peacefully. His appeal leaves room for reconciliation.
