What does it mean when the text says 'Due to the truth of Brahman, the world is an illusion' in relation to Sai Baba's nature?

📖 Chapter 43

This statement from Chapter 43 points to a profound philosophical concept about Sai Baba's divine nature. It explains that because Sai is the complete Supreme Brahman—the ultimate, unchanging reality—the material world, including the physical body, is considered an illusion ('maya') from his perspective. For him, there is no consciousness of the body, making concepts like birth, death, or physical illness entirely irrelevant. As Chapter 43 states, holding or releasing breath or wandering in an invisible form was just a spontaneous play of Yoga for him. His 'death' was simply shedding a temporary adjunct, not an end to his true, eternal self which is one with Brahman.
