How does Chapter 42 frame the event of Sai Baba leaving his body, and what philosophical context does it provide?

Chapter 42 presents the event of Sai Baba's Mahasamadhi not as a sorrowful end, but as a significant spiritual transition. The chapter prefaces the account by emphasizing the profound benefits of the Guru's grace, stating that by remembering the Sadguru, 'even death shall meet its death, and the sorrows of worldly life are forgotten.' This sets a philosophical tone. Furthermore, the text explicitly notes that the 'birth anniversary of gods is the death anniversary of saints.' As described in Chapter 42, this framing elevates the event from a physical departure to a divine occurrence, a culmination of the Sadguru's leela.
