Chapter 43 mentions a prior incident where people mistakenly believed Sai Baba had passed away. Can you elaborate on what the chapter says about this event?

Yes, Chapter 43 previews a fascinating story from an earlier time. It describes an occasion when Sai Baba raised his life breath to the crown of his head (Brahmarandhra) and remained in this state for three full days. People with certain minds, unable to comprehend this yogic state, concluded that it was not Samadhi but death itself. Based on this misunderstanding, they even began preparations for the final rites. The chapter notes that everyone was startled in their hearts when Baba suddenly returned to his body. This event is presented as a story that will be explained to demonstrate Baba's complete mastery over life and death.
