According to Chapter 43, Sai Baba's nature transcends ordinary human experience, which can be a source of great encouragement. He is described as a mass of bliss, devoid of bodily impulses, for whom birth and death are not applicable as they are for others. His incarnation was a willful act driven by a sole desire for the welfare of his devotees. The text explains that death is the nature of the body, but for a Yogi who has turned the body to ashes even before it falls, what fear of death can there be? He could die at will, and his departure was a merging into the unmanifest to continue staying in the hearts of the devotees, always keeping them spiritually awake.
I'm struggling with feelings of spiritual stagnation. How did Sai Baba's existence transcend normal human limitations like birth and death to help his followers?
