How does Sai Baba explain the concept of karma through the story of the two goats?

Sai Baba illustrates karma by recounting the past lives of two goats. As explained in Chapter 46, these goats were once human brothers who, despite initial love, developed a terrible greed for wealth. This greed created enmity, causing them to forget their brotherly bond and ultimately kill each other. Baba states, 'To suffer for their past deeds, they came to the birth of a goat.' He remembered their full history upon seeing them, demonstrating how their violent actions in a previous life directly resulted in their rebirth into a lower species to endure the consequences, highlighting the inescapable nature of karmic law.
