Chapter 44 presents Sai Baba as a being who transcends the universal laws of death and karma. The text posits that for the Ultimate Reality that Sai embodies, "the state of death is a completely false rumor." It further describes him as one "who has authority even over Time (Death)," implying his passing was a conscious act rather than a submission to mortality. Regarding karma, the author of the Satcharitra expresses a humble perspective, admitting, "I do not understand Prarabdha (destiny) or Sanchita (accumulated karma); nor do I know Kriyamana (current actions)." Instead of trying to decipher these complex doctrines, the narrator relies entirely on the grace of Sai, the "merciful King of Gurus," for guidance and stability.
