Chapter 43 draws a clear distinction between death for an ordinary person and for an enlightened Yogi. For a normal person, death is the 'separation of body and senses,' an event inseparably attached to birth. In contrast, for a great Yogi who can 'incarnate by their own will,' death is a 'false imagination.' The text states that such beings 'place their feet on the head of Time' and have no fear of death. A Yogi who has spiritually 'turned the body to ashes' even before it physically falls considers death to be like 'dust before him.' As Chapter 43 elaborates, Sai Samarth, being the Supreme Brahman, could die at will by burning his body in the fire of Yoga and merging into the unmanifest, a state completely beyond the experience of an ordinary person bound to their physical form.
Can you explain the difference between how an ordinary person experiences death versus a great Yogi, according to Chapter 43?
