How does Chapter 43 differentiate between the worldly experience of death and the passing of a yogi like Sai Baba?

📖 Chapter 43

Chapter 43 draws a clear distinction between ordinary death and the conscious departure of a saint. While acknowledging that the 'news of the body’s end does not please anyone’s heart,' the text explains that yogis are not subject to worldly afflictions. The passing of saints is described as a purifying act for all involved. Most significantly, the chapter states that saints like Baba perform the process 'by his own hand' by 'igniting their own light' to burn their own bodies. His transition is not an end but a move to an 'incomprehensible' state of self-attainment and a 'dwelling of happiness,' where he lost his localized form to achieve omnipresence.
