Chapter 44 mentions a past event that caused doubt about whether Baba had truly passed away. Can you elaborate on this historical context and the confusion it caused?

Chapter 44 explains the hesitation and deliberation that followed Sai Baba's passing, which lasted for twenty-six hours as Hindus and Muslims discussed the final rites. The source of this doubt, as the chapter reveals, was a remarkable incident that had occurred 32 years prior. In that event, Baba had seemingly passed away, but he had actually drawn his life force up into the crown of his head, remaining in this state for three days. To onlookers, the cessation of breath made death seem certain, and they began discussing final rites. However, Baba suddenly returned to his body, dispelling everyone's anxiety. Chapter 44 recalls this story of his three-day 'samadhi' to explain why, at the time of his actual Mahasamadhi, his followers were doubtful and questioned whether it was a final departure or another profound trance.
