Does Sai Baba teach that suffering is inevitable? Use the example of Dr. Pillay to explain.

The narrative of Dr. Pillay in Chapter 34 suggests that suffering, as a consequence of past actions (Prarabdha), is indeed inevitable. Dr. Pillay himself, in a moment of extreme pain, articulated this spiritual law, stating, "But the fruits of past actions (Prarabdha) never fail." He understood that there is no escape without undergoing the suffering. Sai Baba's actions affirm this principle. He did not magically erase Dr. Pillay's pain. Instead, Baba offered to share the karmic burden, proposing to endure the consequences together over ten days rather than having Pillay suffer them over ten future lives. This implies that the karmic debt must be paid, but with a Sadguru's grace, the terms of repayment can be mercifully renegotiated, making the inevitable suffering manageable.
