The text in Chapter 43 explains that for a Yogi like Sai Samarth, death is a voluntary and controlled process, a 'spontaneous play of Yoga.' He could die at will, choosing to burn the body in the fire of Yoga and merge into the unmanifest. To 'place their feet on the head of Time' is a metaphor for achieving a state of consciousness that completely transcends mortality. Those who reach this state have effectively 'killed death,' rendering it as powerless as dust before them. They are no longer bound by the cycle of birth and death, which are revealed to be false imaginations, and understand that death is merely a characteristic of the physical body, not the eternal soul.
