What is the significance of Chapter 45, especially in its placement after the chapter describing Sai Baba's Mahasamadhi?

Chapter 45 holds profound significance by reassuring devotees that Sai Baba's presence transcends His physical form. While the previous chapter detailed His passing, or Niryan, Chapter 45 clarifies this was merely the passing of the body. It emphasizes that Sai is "beyond birth and death and remains as before in the Unmanifest." The chapter explains that although His physical form is now lost to our sight, His literary form, the Shri Sai Satcharitra, will serve to provide remembrance at every step. Thus, it serves as a crucial bridge, explaining how His leelas and grace continue unabated, promising that service to Him never goes in vain.
