How does Chapter 11 reconcile the perishable nature of the physical body with the concept of Sai Baba being eternal and deathless?

📖 Chapter 11

Chapter 11 addresses this complex philosophical question by explaining the nature of creation. It first acknowledges that the physical body is perishable and will end, advising devotees not to grieve over this fact but to focus on the eternal. The chapter then teaches that the entire visible universe is the essence of the Unmanifest, having come from it and destined to return to it. It states that the whole of creation, from the creator down to a blade of grass, is born from the 'womb of the Unmanifest' and merges back into it. Therefore, the text concludes, there is no real death for anyone. Applying this principle, as described in Chapter 11, there can be no death for Sai Baba, who is described as eternally pure, enlightened, untainted, and deathless.
