What comparison does the author make between the anniversaries of gods and saints on the day of Baba's passing?

In describing the day of Sai Baba's Mahasamadhi, the author highlights a unique spiritual perspective. The text notes that the day was not only Vijayadashami but also Buddha Jayanti for some. The author then draws a distinction, which is explained in Chapter 42: "The birth anniversary of gods is the death anniversary (Punya Tithi) for saints." This statement implies that while the birth of a god is celebrated, the conscious departure of a perfected saint from their mortal body is an equally significant event to be commemorated, framing it as a 'Punya Tithi' or holy day of remembrance.
