How did Sai Baba's actions in his final moments, such as feigning illness and giving charity, reflect his teachings and divine nature?

In his final hours, Sai Baba's actions were a masterclass in divine play and profound teaching. As described in Chapter 42, he used the pretext of having a fever and imitated worldly ways by groaning, yet he remained perfectly alert within. This demonstrated how a Self-realized being interacts with the world while remaining detached. His decision to sit up by his own power showed his complete control, and his final act was not one of withdrawal but of engagement through charity. By consciously reaching into his pocket to give money to Laxmibai Shinde just before his departure, he underscored the supreme importance of giving and compassion until the very last breath.
