What is the philosophical meaning of 'death' in the context of Sai's teachings?

📖 Chapter 37

According to the teachings in Chapter 37, 'death' is understood on multiple levels. On one level, it is simply the process where a manifest form, which came from the unmanifest, returns to the unmanifest. However, the text emphasizes that the true 'nooses of death' are not physical but spiritual: adharma (unrighteousness), ignorance, anger, and hatred. It is also stated that one who believes 'Parabrahman is different from me' is always subject to death, caught in the eternal cycle of birth and rebirth. Therefore, overcoming death is about conquering these negative qualities and realizing the oneness of the Self.
