How does the scripture explain the nature of death, particularly in relation to a saint like Sai Baba?

According to the passages from Chapter 43, death is defined as the separation of the body and senses, an inseparable counterpart to birth. However, for great souls like Sai Baba, this concept is entirely different. The text posits that saints who incarnate for the welfare of devotees are not touched by birth or death, which are considered 'false imaginations' in their case. Sai Baba is described as a 'mass of bliss' and the 'complete Supreme Brahman,' for whom the consciousness of the body is an illusion. He could die at will, burning the body in the 'fire of Yoga' to merge with the unmanifest. Therefore, for him, death is not an end but a transition to his true, all-pervading state.
