Chapter 45 describes the loss of Sai Baba's physical form. What benefits did this form provide to devotees, and how is his presence maintained after his departure?

According to Chapter 45, the loss of Sai Baba's physical form was a significant event for devotees. His 'Sai-form' was a source of eternal contentment, blissful company, and liberation from the fear of worldly existence. This form guided people to the supreme goal, removed the illusion of Maya, awakened a sense of justice and morality, and provided courage in times of distress. As Chapter 45 explains, after the work of the incarnation was complete, Sai departed but established His form in the hearts of devotees through meditation. Furthermore, the Shri Sai Satcharitra itself is described as His literary form, which will provide remembrance of Him at every step.
