Why was Sai Baba moved by love upon seeing the two goats, and how did he explain their presence?

Sai Baba's reaction to the goats stemmed from his deep knowledge of their past lives. As he explained in the story recorded in Chapter 46, he was "moved by love" upon seeing them unexpectedly in the flock because he remembered their entire history. He revealed that these were not ordinary goats, but two souls who had been human brothers in a previous life and had even been close to him. He recounted their tragic story: how greed for wealth turned them against each other, leading them to mutual murder. Baba stated, "such is their account, which I remembered in full upon seeing them." Their presence was a direct result of their past actions, as they were reborn as goats "to suffer for their past deeds."
