How does the text connect the routine Chavadi procession, the festival of Dussehra, and Sai Baba's ultimate departure from his physical body?

Chapter 42 masterfully weaves these events together. The Chavadi procession, with its royal honors and auspicious moments, set a precedent for significant events. The text explains that Baba used the pretext of the Dussehra festival, a day of 'Seemollanghan' (crossing the border), to teach about transcending worldly existence. He then embodied this teaching in the most profound way possible. On the Dussehra of 1918, which was also a Vijayadashami, he chose that very auspicious moment to offer his body to the earth and merge with the Supreme. This act transformed the symbolic crossing of borders into a literal, spiritual transcendence.
