According to the scriptures, what is the true nature of death for a realized soul like Sai Baba?

Chapter 43 explains that for a saint like Sai Samarth, death is not an end but a transformation. The text describes death as a characteristic of the physical body, a separation of body and senses. However, for those who incarnate by their own will for the welfare of devotees, birth and death are considered false imaginations. As mentioned in Chapter 43, a Yogi like Sai has no fear of death, as he has already turned the body to ashes in the fire of Yoga. For such beings, death is like an eclipse—a mere defect of vision for the observer, not a reality for the one who is a mass of bliss and the complete Supreme Brahman.
