What is the philosophical perspective on birth and death presented in relation to great saints like Sai Baba?

Chapter 43 presents a profound philosophical view on existence. It defines birth as the union of body and senses and death as their separation. However, for enlightened beings like Sai Baba who incarnate by their own will for the welfare of devotees, birth and death are considered 'false imaginations.' The text posits that such saints have effectively 'killed death' and placed their feet 'on the head of Time.' Because Sai Samarth is described as the 'complete Supreme Brahman' and a 'mass of bliss,' the concepts of bodily birth and death do not apply to him. For one who is Brahman, the world itself is an illusion, making bodily consciousness and its cessation irrelevant.
