Sai Baba explains Prarabdha Karma through a detailed story found in Chapter 47. He recounts the tale of a greedy, wealthy man who deceitfully offered a worthless piece of mortgaged land to Shankara. This act, lacking pure intention, was considered an accumulated sin. As a result of this karma, the man and his wife died in a calamity. Baba explains that this was not the end; their karma bore fruit in their next lives. The wealthy man was reborn as a poor man named Veerabhadra, and his wife was reborn as Gauri. Baba explicitly states, "This is the secret of Prarabdha Karma; peace comes only through experiencing it," showing how their destinies remained intertwined to resolve their past actions.
