According to Chapter 43, what happened to Sai Baba's state of being after he left his physical body?

Chapter 43 explains that after leaving his body, Sai Baba's existence transformed rather than ended. The text states he reached an "imperishable state, devoid of rebirth." He transitioned from being manifest in a physical body to becoming unmanifest. As described in Chapter 43, this process involved him losing his localized nature to achieve omnipresence, becoming "eternally whole" by merging with his true self. Although his physical form was gone, which caused great lamentation among the villagers, the chapter clarifies that his complete form was realized and that he remained the life and soul of all.
