What is the spiritual understanding of Sai Baba's death?

According to the perspective offered in Chapter 43, what people call death is a false imagination for a being like Sai Baba. He is described as a mass of bliss and the complete Supreme Brahman, for whom birth and death do not apply. For such saints, death is likened to a solar eclipse—a mere defect of vision for the observer. The text explains that Sai Samarth could die at will, and he burned his body in the fire of Yoga, merging himself into the unmanifest. He did not perish but instead attained his previous unmanifest state, continuing to reside in the hearts of his devotees.
