What is the philosophical understanding of Sai Baba's death according to the provided texts?

According to the philosophy detailed in Chapter 43, the concept of 'death' as a final end does not apply to Sai Baba. The text defines death as merely the separation of the body and senses, a natural characteristic of the physical form. For Sai Samarth, who is described as a 'mass of bliss' and the Supreme Brahman, birth and death are irrelevant illusions. His departure from the physical body is described not as a death, but as a voluntary act of merging into the unmanifest by burning the body in the fire of Yoga. This was a spontaneous play for the salvation of his devotees. Death is like dust to such a being, and his essence remains unbroken, filling the entire universe.
