The text suggests Sai Baba's passing was not a typical death. Can you elaborate on what happened to him according to the scripture?

According to the insights in Chapter 43, Sai Baba's departure was not a death in the conventional sense. The text posits that his body was merely an adjunct, and his task for the devotees was complete. It states that Sai Samarth could die at will and that he burned his body in the fire of Yoga, merging himself into the unmanifest. He now resides in the hearts of his devotees and continues to be present. The scripture dismisses the idea that his conscious, eternal self could have perished, comparing his passing to a total eclipse, which is merely a defect of vision and not the end of the sun.
