How does the text explain that saints like Sai Baba can conquer death?

📖 Chapter 43

The text in Chapter 43 posits that saints conquer death by realizing their true nature beyond the physical body. It states that for one who has spiritually 'turned the body to ashes' even before physical death, there is no fear. Death is described as the inherent nature of the body, but for a being like Sai Samarth, it is like 'dust before him.' The scripture uses the analogy of a solar eclipse, which is merely a 'defect of vision' for the observer, not an event that extinguishes the sun. Similarly, the 'death' of a saint is an illusion to onlookers, as the saint's true self, the soul, is eternal and unaffected.
