Can you summarize the key events and teachings presented in Chapter 44 of the Sai Satcharitra?

Chapter 44 of the Sai Satcharitra begins with invocations praising Sai Baba, describing Him as desireless, the embodiment of consciousness, and kind even to detractors. The chapter then provides a detailed, chronological account of Baba's passing. It reveals that for two full weeks leading up to His Mahasamadhi, Baba listened intently to a recitation of the Ramayana. He left His body on the day of Vijayadashami, immediately after this fourteen-day period concluded. As narrated in Chapter 44, this led to a 26-hour deliberation between Hindus and Muslims regarding the final rites and the location for His tomb, partly because of a past event where Baba had seemingly died but returned after three days, causing doubt about His final departure.
