According to Chapter 43, what happened to Sai Baba's consciousness after he left his body? Did he truly die?

Chapter 43 explains that Sai Baba's passing was not a death in the conventional sense but a transition to a higher state of being. After leaving his body, he reached an "imperishable state, devoid of rebirth." The text clarifies that while his one-sided avatar ended, he became unmanifest and beautifully realized his complete form. He lost his localized nature and achieved omnipresence, merging with his true self. The chapter emphasizes that yogis like Baba do not suffer from worldly afflictions and that he performed the process of leaving his body by his own hand, igniting his own inner light to "burn" his physical form.
