What does the text say happened to Sai Baba's physical body when he passed? Did he actually die?

Chapter 43 offers a profound spiritual perspective on Sai Baba's passing, suggesting he did not 'die' in the conventional sense. The scripture states that Sai Samarth possessed the ability to 'die at will' and that he chose to 'burn the body in the fire of Yoga.' Rather than perishing, he 'merged himself into the unmanifest,' choosing to reside in the hearts of his devotees. The text strongly refutes the idea of his end, questioning how a body 'filled with consciousness' could ever be said to have perished. By merely remembering his name, the concepts of birth and death cease to hold meaning for the devotee, as Baba simply attained his 'previous unmanifest state.'
