How does Chapter 43 contrast the passing of a yogi like Sai Baba with the death experienced by ordinary people?

Chapter 43 draws a sharp contrast between a yogi's conscious departure and an ordinary death. It posits that worldly afflictions like fever do not trouble yogis or cross their path. Instead of succumbing to illness or decay, saints actively participate in their transition. As this chapter vividly describes, saints burn their own bodies by "igniting their own light." It is explicitly stated that Baba performed this very process by his own hand. This willed act stands in stark contrast to the experience of the villagers, who were filled with lamentation and anxiety, feeling as if it were the end of their own lives.
