What is the relationship between the body and consciousness for a Yogi like Sai Baba as described in the source?

The text presents the body as merely an 'adjunct' or a temporary vessel, especially for an enlightened Yogi like Sai Baba. Chapter 43 describes him as the 'complete Supreme Brahman' for whom the consciousness of the body is an illusion, just as the world is. He is devoid of bodily impulses, and physical or mental illnesses are of no consequence to him, as he has no awareness of them. His ability to hold or release his breath and wander in an invisible form is cited as the spontaneous play of Yoga. Ultimately, the text argues that a being so filled with consciousness, who is firmly imprinted in the hearts of devotees, cannot be defined by a physical body that is said to have perished.
