In his explanation to Shama regarding Dakshina, Sai Baba makes a profound statement about the unyielding nature of karma. As recorded in Chapter 36, after asserting his own detachment from worldly affairs, Baba states, "But debt, enmity, and murder—these are not escaped by the doer even at the end of an eon." This powerful declaration means that the consequences of these three specific actions are karmically binding and unavoidable. The individual who commits them must eventually face the repercussions, no matter how much time passes. This principle underpins his earlier comment that the devotee giving Dakshina becomes "free from debt," suggesting the act was a resolution of such an inescapable, long-standing obligation.
Towards the end of the story about the men from Goa, Baba mentions some things are inescapable. What were they and what did that mean?
