What is the scripture's perspective on death, and how did it apply to a great soul like Sai Baba?

Chapter 43 explains that for ordinary beings, death is the separation of the body and senses, an event inseparably attached to birth. However, for a great soul like Sai Baba, this concept is considered a false imagination. The text describes death as being like dust before him, as he had already turned his body to ashes through the fire of Yoga. For Sai Samarth, who is described as a mass of bliss and the complete Supreme Brahman, the notions of birth and death for his body are irrelevant. His leaving the body was a voluntary act of merging into his unmanifest form, a state of happiness for the body.
