From a spiritual perspective, how does Chapter 43 describe the nature of Sai Baba's departure from his physical body?

Chapter 43 explains that Sai Baba's passing was not a death in the ordinary sense but a conscious spiritual transition. It is described as him reaching an 'imperishable state, devoid of rebirth' and merging into 'Sayujya,' or complete union with his true self. The chapter clarifies that by leaving his body, he became unmanifest, losing his localized nature to attain omnipresence and become 'eternally whole.' His departure was not marked by struggle or agony; rather, the text notes he departed with joy, consciously performing the process of leaving the body as yogis do by igniting their own light.
