Satsang Did Sri Saibaba sacrifice his life to save Tatya's life?

(Part 3)
Further; Sri Saibaba is an incarnation of god whose birth,
growth and death is tied with the karma and salvation of
many devotees. Baba had saved many devotees from death
and indeed had even brought back alive many who were
dead too. To save Tatya from death was an easy task for him,
it was not necessary for him to sacrifice his own life to save
Tatya’s. As Hemadpant stated, he may have, in his natural
cryptic style, indicated his death in advance and said Tatya’s
name instead of his own. The feeling of the people that he
had sacrificed his life to save Tatya mirrors their belief that
he had indeed loved Tatya more than his own life.
