How does Chapter 48's description of destroying sins and merits align with the concept of Prarabdha Karma discussed in other parts of the Satcharitra?

Chapter 48 does not use the specific term 'Prarabdha Karma.' It does, however, discuss karma in a broader sense. It mentions that listening to the Sai Satcharitra can make both the speaker and listener eternally pure, causing their 'sins and merits' to be destroyed and leading to liberation. Furthermore, Chapter 48 explains that by listening with alertness, the 'bonds of Karma are broken,' making it easy to cross the ocean of worldly existence. This suggests a powerful, grace-filled path to transcending karmic effects, achieved through devotion, faith, and engagement with Sai's life story.
