What is the Satcharita's philosophical explanation of birth and death, particularly for enlightened beings like Sai Baba?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 43

Chapter 43 presents a profound philosophical view on life and death. It defines birth as the union of the body and senses, and death as their separation. For ordinary individuals, these two are inseparable. However, for avatars and great souls who 'incarnate by their own will,' birth and death are considered 'false imaginations.' The text suggests that such beings, who have conquered time and mortality, are not touched by this cycle. It states that for one who has spiritually 'turned the body to ashes' even before physical death, the fear of death is non-existent; it is like 'dust before him.' For such a being, life is a modification of the body, and death is simply another state.
