How does Chapter 45 describe the loss felt by devotees after Sai Baba's departure?

Chapter 45 conveys a deep sense of loss following Sai Baba's departure. The author laments that the Sai-form, whose vision brought eternal contentment and whose presence granted liberation from worldly fears, is now lost to sight. This form, which guided devotees to the supreme goal, removed the illusion of Maya, and awakened justice and morality, is no longer physically present. As expressed throughout Chapter 45, the absence of this form, which gave the mind courage in times of distress, is felt as a profound void by the devotees.
