How does the text explain the concept of death, especially for a saint like Sai Baba?

📖 Chapter 43

According to Chapter 43, death is fundamentally defined as the separation of the body and senses. However, for enlightened beings like Sai Baba, this definition is insufficient. The chapter explains that great souls, who incarnate for the welfare of devotees, can transcend mortality and "place their feet on the head of Time." For Sai Samarth, described as the "complete Supreme Brahman," birth and death are considered false imaginations. His departure was a voluntary act where he "burned the body in the fire of Yoga" and merged into the unmanifest. The text emphasizes that death is like dust before him, and for saints, what appears as death to us is merely a "defect of vision," like an eclipse.
