How can I understand Sai Baba's Mahasamadhi if he is considered beyond birth and death?

Understanding Sai Baba's Mahasamadhi requires looking beyond the physical event. Chapter 43 teaches that for great Yogis and saints, the body is merely an adjunct, and its departure is not an end. The text describes Baba's passing as a conscious choice to merge into his 'previous unmanifest state.' This is presented as a spontaneous play of Yoga for the sake of devotees' salvation. He transcended the material state to fill the entire moving and non-moving world. Therefore, his Mahasamadhi is not a loss but a transformation into an all-pervading presence that continues to guide and protect his followers.
