What is the Satcharita's perspective on Sai Baba's physical death?

The scripture posits that for a being like Sai Baba, death as we know it is an illusion. Chapter 43 explains that he is the complete Supreme Brahman, for whom birth and death are not applicable. It describes his departure not as a death, but as a conscious choice. Sai Samarth could die at will and is said to have burned his body in the fire of Yoga, merging himself into the unmanifest. The text compares the idea of his death to an eclipse, suggesting it's merely a defect of our vision. It argues that he who was filled with consciousness and imprinted in the hearts of devotees cannot be said to have perished.
