Chapter 43 continues the narrative of Sai Baba's passing, picking up where the previous chapter left off. The author, Hemad, expresses his devotion and states his intent to complete the story. The chapter provides a preview of its contents, mentioning how Baba listened to the Ramayana before his death, the planning for his Samadhi (tomb), and the symbolic 'fall of the brick'. It also alludes to a past event where Baba appeared to have died for three days before returning to his body, startling his devotees. As described in Chapter 43, the text also reflects on the nature of Baba's transition from a manifest, physical form to an unmanifest, omnipresent state, noting that the passing of saints purifies both listeners and speakers.
