According to the provided text, death for a being like Sai Baba is fundamentally different from ordinary mortality. Chapter 43 explains that for those who incarnate by their own will for the welfare of devotees, birth and death are merely 'false imaginations.' The text posits that Sai Samarth is the 'complete Supreme Brahman,' for whom birth and death are irrelevant as he is devoid of bodily impulses. The death of such a saint is compared to a solar eclipse—it is described as a defect of our vision, not a true end to their existence, as the body is considered merely an adjunct.
How should one understand the concept of death in relation to a being like Sai Baba?
