Can you explain the sequence of events that led to the Buti Wada being repurposed from a Murlidhar temple to the Samadhi Mandir?

📖 Chapter 39

The transformation of the Buti Wada was a divinely orchestrated sequence of events. Initially, as Chapter 39 outlines, Bapusaheb Buti planned to install an idol of Murlidhar in the wada's central hall. After receiving Baba's enthusiastic permission, construction on the inner sanctum began. However, as the project neared completion, Baba fell gravely ill, causing Buti great distress over the future of the mansion. The pivotal moment came with Sai Baba's final words before his passing: "Place me in the mansion." This command from Baba's own mouth resolved all uncertainty. Following his mahasamadhi, his holy body was placed in the very inner sanctum that had been prepared for Murlidhar, thus converting the mansion into the revered Samadhi Mandir.
