If Sai Baba left his physical body, how can he still be present and help his devotees?

Chapter 43 addresses this very question by explaining the true nature of an enlightened being. When Sai Baba's task for the devotees was complete, he didn't perish but rather 'merged himself into the unmanifest.' The text asserts that he continues to reside in the hearts of his devotees, and by remembering his name, one transcends the illusion of birth and death. He is described as being filled with consciousness and firmly imprinted in devotees' hearts, enjoying his true self while keeping them spiritually 'awake.' The text draws parallels with other great saints like Gyaneshwar Maharaj, who gave darshan centuries after his physical departure, proving that Sai, too, fills the entire world in his true form and remains the protector of his devotees.
