How should I understand Sai Baba's 'death' if he is considered immortal?

According to Chapter 43, the concept of death as the separation of body and senses does not apply to Sai Samarth. For him, who is described as the complete Supreme Brahman, birth and death are false imaginations. His departure was not a perishing but a voluntary act where he chose to merge into his unmanifest form through the fire of Yoga. The text suggests that death is like dust to such a being. He simply attained his previous unmanifest state, while remaining ever-present and firmly imprinted in the hearts of his devotees, for whom he continues to provide protection and guidance.
