Chapter 43 introduces a fascinating story from Sai Baba's past to be narrated in full later. It describes an incident where Baba raised his life breath to the crown of his head, a yogic practice known as 'Brahmarandhra', and remained in this state for three full days. During this time, his body was motionless, leading his followers to conclude that it was not a state of Samadhi but death itself. As a result, they began preparations for his final rites. The chapter notes that people were 'startled in their hearts' when Baba suddenly returned to his body. This account, previewed in Chapter 43, serves to highlight Baba's profound yogic powers and the incomprehensible nature of his actions.
