What is the spiritual significance of the Dussehra festival according to Sai Baba's actions and teachings?

According to the accounts in Chapter 42, Sai Baba used the Dussehra festival to impart a profound spiritual lesson. He suggested to everyone that Dussehra is the auspicious moment for 'Seemollanghan,' which symbolizes crossing the border of the ocean of worldly existence. He didn't just suggest this abstractly; he demonstrated it through his own experience. On the very next Dussehra, in the year 1918, he chose that auspicious day to offer his own pure body to the fire of Yoga, merging with the Supreme. Thus, as Chapter 42 explains, he showed through his own experience that this was the true auspicious moment for transcendence.
