From a devotee's perspective, how do Sai's teachings reframe the concepts of birth and death?

Following Sai's path involves understanding that birth and death are inseparable aspects of existence, described in Chapter 43 as a 'binding or loosening of the bond.' However, for those who achieve a higher state of consciousness, these concepts are revealed as false imaginations rooted in the delusion of Maya. The feeling of duality vanishes, and one becomes filled with their true form. Saints like Sai take on a physical form, or avatar, solely for the welfare and salvation of their devotees. Therefore, a devotee learns to see death not as a fearful end, but as a natural process for the body, while the true self, the soul, is beyond this cycle.
