The source discusses birth and death as a 'binding or loosening of the bond'. How does this philosophy apply to Sai Baba himself and what does it mean for his devotees?

According to the teachings presented in Chapter 43, birth is the union of body and senses, while death is their separation. However, for those who have conquered death and incarnate by their own will for the welfare of devotees, birth and death are considered 'false imaginations.' Sai Samarth is described as the complete Supreme Brahman, for whom birth or death do not exist. He could die at will, burning his body in the fire of Yoga to merge into the unmanifest. For devotees, this means that by merely remembering his name, the concerns of birth and death can be transcended, as he remains eternally present in their hearts.
