Chapter 43 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra explains that birth is simply the union of the body and senses, while death is their separation. These two events are viewed as inseparable from each other. The text describes death as a characteristic of the soul's nature, whereas life is considered a modification of the body. For great souls who incarnate by their own will for the welfare of humanity, birth and death are dismissed as 'false imaginations.' Having already conquered death by turning the body to ashes in the fire of Yoga even before it physically falls, they are untouched by this cycle. For such beings, death is insignificant, like dust before them.
