From the perspective of Chapter 43, what was the nature of Sai Baba's existence after he left his physical form?

Chapter 43 explains that after leaving his body, Sai Baba reached an imperishable state, becoming devoid of rebirth. The author describes this transition as moving from a manifest state to an unmanifest one. By shedding his physical body, he lost his localized nature and achieved omnipresence, becoming eternally whole by merging with his true self. As the chapter states, although his one-sided avatar ended, his complete form was beautifully realized. He is described as the life and soul of all, and despite the great lamentation of the villagers, his essence became all-pervading.
