The idea of Sai Baba's Mahasamadhi is confusing. How can someone who is described as the Supreme Brahman ever truly die?

Chapter 43 explains this paradox by reframing the concept of death for a saint like Sai Baba. It suggests that viewing his departure as a death is a "defect of vision," similar to how a solar eclipse is a temporary illusion. For Baba, who is described as the complete Supreme Brahman and a "mass of bliss," there is no birth or death. His physical body was merely an adjunct, and he was devoid of bodily impulses. He chose to leave his body through the "fire of Yoga," a voluntary act where he merged himself back into the unmanifest state. Therefore, his physical departure was not a death in the conventional sense but a transition of a Yogi who could die at will.
