The source text mentions that saints can 'place their feet on the head of Time.' What does this mean in the context of birth and death?

This powerful phrase signifies mastery over the mortal coil and the temporal world. According to Chapter 43, saints who incarnate by their own will for the welfare of others are not bound by the conventional cycle of birth and death, which is seen as a 'false imagination' for them. Sai Samarth is described as a 'mass of bliss' for whom birth is unknown, so death is impossible. He is beyond bodily impulses. For such beings, death is like 'dust before him.' The text explains that Sai could die at will, demonstrating this mastery by burning his body in the fire of Yoga and merging into the unmanifest, proving he is not subject to Time's constraints.
