Describe the confusion and deliberations that occurred immediately after Baba's passing, and how a past event influenced the devotees' reactions.

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 44

As detailed in Chapter 44, following the moment Baba's breath left his body, there was a period of intense deliberation that lasted for twenty-six hours. Hindus and Muslims began to debate how to give the body its final resting state and where to plan the Samadhi. The uncertainty was compounded by a past event, which the chapter references, where Baba had once drawn his life force into the crown of his head for three days. On that previous occasion, everyone had thought him dead, but he suddenly returned to his body. This memory made everyone doubtful whether Baba's current state was a deep trance (Samadhi) or actual death, making it difficult to proceed with the final rites.
