What is the author's justification in Chapter 43 for recounting the potentially sorrowful event of Sai Baba's passing?

📖 Chapter 43

The author, Hemad, acknowledges in Chapter 43 that the story of a body's end, or 'departure,' might not please every reader and could even cause weariness. However, he provides a clear justification for continuing the narrative. He posits that the passing of saints and sages is a unique event that acts to purify both the listeners and the speakers. Hemad views the act of sketching Sai's life story as an act of devotion granted by Sai himself. Therefore, as explained in Chapter 43, he believes that recounting these final moments, despite their sorrowful appearance, is a spiritually beneficial practice that brings glory to devotional religion and helps end the cycle of worldly existence.
