Chapter 43 of the Sai Satcharitra explains that death is merely the separation of the body and senses, a concept that does not truly apply to great souls like Sai Baba. For such beings, who incarnate by their own will for the welfare of devotees, birth and death are described as 'false imaginations.' The text clarifies that Sai is the 'complete Supreme Brahman' and a 'mass of bliss,' for whom death is not a reality. His departure is likened to a solar eclipse, which is a defect of vision in the observer, not a true end for the sun. The scripture states that Baba consciously left his body by burning it in the 'fire of Yoga,' merging into his unmanifest, eternal form.
