According to the teachings in Chapter 43, birth is defined as the union of the body and senses, while death is their separation. This binding and loosening is the cycle that ordinary beings experience. However, for saints and enlightened ones who are absorbed in the bliss of Brahman, this cycle is a false imagination. They are free from the six-fold changes and remain in an unmanifest state, untouched by the delusion of Maya. As Chapter 43 explains, they have already 'killed death' and see it as a natural, even happy, state for the physical body, which they consider merely an adjunct. Their focus is on their true form, constantly contemplating 'Allah Malik' (God is the Master).
