Chapter 44 mentions confusion and debate after Sai Baba's body became still. What was the source of this doubt among his followers, and how long did the debate last?

Chapter 44 explains that after Sai Baba's breath ceased, his followers were filled with doubt about whether he was truly gone or merely in a state of Samadhi (trance). This uncertainty led to a debate between Hindus and Muslims that lasted for twenty-six hours regarding the final rites. The primary source of this doubt, as referenced in the chapter, was a past event from 32 years prior. In that instance, Baba had seemingly passed away but then suddenly returned to his body after three days, having drawn his life force into the crown of his head. This previous experience made it seem impossible for his followers to be certain of his death this time.
