What was the philosophical view on death and sainthood presented in the context of Baba's passing?

Chapter 44 presents a profound philosophical view on death in relation to a perfected Saint like Sai Baba. It posits that for the "Ultimate Reality," which a Saint embodies, the state of death is merely a "completely false rumor." The text challenges the finality of death by asking, "He who has authority even over Time (Death); how can he suffer at its hands?" This suggests that a true Saint transcends mortality. The chapter also describes a Saint as the "form of bliss" and one who melts even for their detractors, highlighting a state of being that is beyond the physical limitations and karmic laws of Prarabdha, Sanchita, and Kriyamana that bind ordinary individuals.
