The teachings found in Chapter 43 explain that for enlightened beings like Sai Samarth, the body is merely an adjunct. The text questions where mental or physical illness could exist for them, suggesting that even if such conditions arise due to past karma, the saints have no awareness of them. Death is described as a characteristic of the soul's nature and a state of happiness for the body, while life is seen as a modification. For Sai, who is the complete Supreme Brahman and a mass of bliss, the consciousness of the body is an illusion, and therefore, he is considered devoid of bodily impulses and the illnesses that accompany them.
