I feel sad that Sai Baba left his body. Does the Satcharita offer any comfort or explanation for this?

The Satcharita directly addresses this feeling of loss. Chapter 43 offers great comfort by asserting that while Baba left his physical form, he has not truly gone. The text rhetorically asks, 'Who will believe these words?' regarding his death, stating that the mind cannot accept that a being so filled with consciousness could perish. It clarifies that he 'merged himself into the unmanifest' and continues to reside 'in the hearts of the devotees.' This chapter reassures followers that the beginningless and endless Sai remains unbroken and is always present, keeping his devotees spiritually awake.
