The philosophical basis for this statement in Chapter 11 rests on the concept of the Unmanifest as the eternal source and destination of all existence. The chapter posits that the entire visible creation, from the creator to a mere blade of grass, is born from the womb of the Unmanifest and will ultimately merge back into it. The physical body is described as perishable, and devotees are advised not to grieve its end but to focus on the eternal, beginningless reality. Therefore, as Chapter 11 concludes, since everything merely returns to its unmanifest source, there is no true death. Consequently, Sai Baba, being eternally pure, enlightened, and untainted, is considered deathless.
Chapter 11 makes the statement, 'there is no death for anyone; so how can there be death for Baba?' Can you elaborate on the philosophical basis for this claim as presented in the chapter?
