Can you explain the distinction between birth and death for an ordinary person versus a Yogi, as detailed in the provided text?

📖 Chapter 43

As detailed in Chapter 43, there is a sharp distinction between the experience of birth and death for ordinary beings and for enlightened Yogis. For most, birth is the union of body and senses, while death is their separation—an inseparable cycle. However, for a Yogi like Sai Baba, these are false imaginations. The text explains that a Yogi who has "turned the body to ashes" even before it falls has no fear of death. For them, leaving the body is a voluntary act, a spontaneous play of Yoga for the devotees' salvation. Sai Baba, being the Supreme Brahman, was devoid of bodily impulses, and his "death" was a conscious merging into his unmanifest state.
