From the perspective of the author in Chapter 43, what is the purpose of recounting the story of Sai Baba's passing?

📖 Chapter 43

In Chapter 43, the author, Hemad, reveals his motivation for detailing Sai Baba's departure. He begins with profound reverence, stating his belief that Sai himself creates the devotion in his followers and empowers the telling of his life story. Hemad posits that remembering the glory of God's devotees and engaging in their bhajan (devotional singing) is the most effective means to purify the inner self. While acknowledging that the news of the body's end might not please everyone, Chapter 43 asserts that the passing of saints and sages is a unique event that purifies both the listeners and the speakers. Therefore, the purpose is not to cause sorrow but to provide spiritual purification and end worldly existence for the devotee.
