According to Chapter 43, Sai Samarth is identified as the complete Supreme Brahman and a 'mass of bliss.' Because of this divine nature, the text poses the question of how there can be death for his body when he does not even know the birth of a body. For him, the world is an illusion, and he is devoid of bodily impulses. The concepts of birth and death are considered false imaginations that do not apply to him. His physical presence and actions were a 'spontaneous play of Yoga' performed for the sake of his devotees' salvation, not because he was subject to the normal cycles of life.
Who is Sai Samarth identified as in the text, and how does this identity affect his relationship with birth and death?
