How does Chapter 43 differentiate between the death of an ordinary person and the transcendence of an enlightened being like Sai Baba?

Chapter 43 draws a clear distinction between ordinary death and the conscious transition of a great Yogi. For most, death is defined as the separation of the body and senses, an event inseparably linked to birth. However, for saints who have, in a sense, 'killed death,' it is considered as insignificant as dust. The text notes that for them, the body is merely an adjunct, and they have no awareness of physical ailments that might arise from past karma. Sai Samarth exemplified this by choosing to die at will, utilizing the fire of Yoga to merge into his unmanifest state. This was not an end but a return to his true self, where he continues to enjoy his true nature beyond the material world.
