How does Chapter 45 reconcile the event of Sai Baba's passing (Niryan) with the continuation of His Leelas and the book itself?

Chapter 45 directly addresses the apparent contradiction of the book continuing after describing Sai Baba's passing in the previous chapter. The author expresses wonder at this but then provides a profound explanation. The chapter clarifies that the passing, or Niryan, was only of the physical body. Sai Baba Himself is described as being beyond birth and death, remaining 'as before in the Unmanifest.' Therefore, as Chapter 45 illustrates, while the body and form went, Sai's essence did not, allowing His stories and miracles (Leelas) to continue even after His physical departure.
