Did Sai Baba truly die, and if not, what happened to his physical body?

According to the teachings in Chapter 43, the concepts of birth and death as we understand them do not apply to a being like Sai Samarth. The text explains that death is merely a separation of body and senses, but for Sai, who is described as the complete Supreme Brahman, birth and death are considered false imaginations. His departure was not a death but a voluntary act; he could die at will. The scripture states that he 'burned the body in the fire of Yoga' and 'merged himself into the unmanifest.' Therefore, while the physical body was left behind, Sai himself transcended this material state to merge with his true, unmanifest form, remaining eternally present.
