In Chapter 43, the author, Hemadpant, acknowledges that the topic of death and the body's end "does not please anyone’s heart." However, he immediately provides a spiritual justification for narrating these events. He asserts that "the passing of saints and sages purifies both the listeners and the speakers." The author frames the act of telling this story as being akin to bhajan or kirtan—a form of devotional remembrance. As stated in Chapter 43, remembering the glory of God's devotees is presented as an unparalleled and easy means to wash away accumulated sins and purify the inner self, thus making the narration a sacred and beneficial act.
How does the author justify writing about the potentially sorrowful event of Sai Baba's passing in Chapter 43?
