Chapter 43 makes a clear distinction between the passing of ordinary people and that of enlightened yogis. The text asserts that worldly afflictions do not affect saints in the same way. Instead of succumbing to illness or external factors, their departure is a conscious act. As Chapter 43 poetically states, "By igniting their own light, saints burn their own bodies." This implies a willful, self-directed transition. The chapter further specifies that Baba performed this very process "by his own hand," emphasizing that his passing was not a passive event but a controlled release from his physical form to attain an omnipresent state.
Chapter 43 contrasts the death of a yogi with ordinary death. How does it describe the process of passing for a saint like Sai Baba?
