The text mentions Sai Baba's task for the devotees was over. What was this task and what happened after?

Chapter 43 explains that Sai Baba appeared in Shirdi, gathered by the past merits of his devotees, with the specific purpose of their protection. When this task was considered complete, he did not die in the conventional sense but chose to leave his physical body. The text emphasizes that to say he perished is incorrect; instead, he merged himself into the unmanifest through the fire of Yoga. Even after this, he did not abandon his followers. He stayed in the hearts of the devotees and continues to enjoy his true self while always keeping them 'awake,' demonstrating his ongoing care and presence.
