Chapter 11 of the Sai Satcharitra presents a profound perspective on mortality, asserting that death is an illusion, especially concerning a divine being like Sai Baba. The text explains that the physical body is perishable and will eventually end, but a devotee should not grieve this. This is because the entire visible creation, from the creator down to a blade of grass, arises from the Unmanifest and ultimately merges back into it. Therefore, there is no true death for anyone. The chapter concludes by asking rhetorically how there can be death for Baba, declaring that Shri Sai is eternally pure, enlightened, untainted, and deathless.
