The text says Saints are not subject to ordinary birth. Does this mean they are exempt from the laws of Karma and rebirth that are mentioned in relation to the previous chapter?

According to the provided excerpts from Chapter 48, there is a clear distinction made between ordinary people and Saints regarding rebirth. The text first references the previous chapter, stating that people are typically reborn to settle debts, enmity, and experience the fruits of their karma, with no memory of their past lives. In contrast, Chapter 48 explains that Saints, like Sai, "never forget" their pasts and are not born into this cycle in the same way. The text says they "are not born anywhere" in the sense of an ordinary birth subject to karma. Instead, they manifest to "remove the calamities of their devotees," suggesting their presence is a willful act of grace rather than a karmic necessity.
