Chapter 43 provides a deep philosophical perspective, stating that saints are essentially beyond the womb and the cycle of birth and death. They are described as the personification of the form of Brahman, fortunate souls who incarnate for the specific purpose of helping others and promoting the welfare of people. When their worldly task is complete, they do not 'die' but rather 'join their true form and merge into the unmanifest.' The text compares their existence to the wealth and happiness in a dream, highlighting that for a treasure of knowledge like Baba, who is always in self-contemplation, caring for the body and its eventual fall are one and the same.
