Can you elaborate on the philosophical distinction between the body's end and the soul's nature as described in Sai's teachings on death?

Chapter 43 draws a sharp philosophical distinction between the physical body and the true self. It posits that death is the nature of the body, even referring to it as the 'state of happiness for the body,' while life is described as a 'modification of the body.' In contrast, for the soul or the realized being, these concepts are different. Sai Samarth is described as the complete Supreme Brahman, for whom the consciousness of the body is an illusion. Therefore, the cycle of birth and death, which is tied to the physical form, is irrelevant to His true state. This is why saints are said to 'kill death' and transcend time, as they operate beyond the body's limitations and attachments.
