From the author's perspective in Chapter 43, what is the significance of telling the story of a saint's passing, and how is it different from a worldly death?

📖 Chapter 43

In Chapter 43, the author, Hemadpant, acknowledges that news of a body's end does not typically please the heart. However, he clarifies that the passing of saints and sages is a unique event that purifies both the listeners and the speakers of the story. The chapter distinguishes a yogi's passing from a worldly death caused by afflictions like fever. It is explained that saints like Baba are not subject to such things. Instead, they perform the process by their own hand, igniting their own inner light to burn their own bodies, a self-willed and conscious departure from the physical form.
