What is the nature of death for a saint or a yogi, according to the teachings in the Satcharita?

📖 Chapter 43

Chapter 43 presents a unique perspective on death for saints and yogis, contrasting it sharply with the experience of ordinary people. For a saint, death is not an end but a characteristic of the soul's nature, and life is merely a modification of the body. The text claims that those who 'place their feet on the head of Time' and incarnate by their own will are not touched by birth and death, which are seen as 'false imaginations.' For such beings, who have metaphorically turned their bodies to ashes long before physical death, death is like 'dust before him.' It is described as a 'spontaneous play of Yoga' or a conscious choice, like Sai Samarth who 'could die at will,' ultimately merging back into an unmanifest state while their consciousness remains active for devotees.
