Describe the author's argument for why Sai Baba did not truly die, but instead transitioned to a different state of being.

The author argues that Sai Baba's departure was not a death in the conventional sense but a voluntary yogic act. Chapter 43 narrates that once his work for the devotees was complete, Sai Samarth, who could die at will, 'burned the body in the fire of Yoga' and 'merged himself into the unmanifest.' The text emphasizes that the body is merely an adjunct and that Baba's true essence, being pure consciousness, could not perish. Instead of being gone, he is said to have taken up residence in the hearts of his devotees, where he continues to keep them spiritually awake. The author firmly rejects the notion that Baba's conscious form has perished.
