Chapter 44 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra begins with invocations and praises for Sai Baba, describing Him as the embodiment of consciousness and an abode of happiness. As detailed in this chapter, a key philosophical point is the comparison between Gods and Saints, noting that while Gods are beautiful, Saints are the form of bliss and will melt even for their detractors. It's stated that Rama, Krishna, and Sai are essentially one. The chapter then narrates the events leading to Baba's passing, mentioning that He listened to the Ramayana for fourteen days. Following His passing, a period of twenty-six hours is described where Hindus and Muslims deliberated on the final rites, causing doubt as to whether it was death or a state of Samadhi.
