Describe the debate and confusion among the villagers and authorities when Sai Baba's body remained motionless for two days.

📖 Chapter 44

During Sai Baba's three-day trance, the villagers were initially stunned and watched in amazement. As Chapter 44 recounts, after two days passed with no signs of life, a debate began. The Maulvis, Mullas, Fakirs, along with Appa Kulkarni and Kashiram, concluded that Baba had passed away and made a firm decision to "give rest to the body," urging that a grave be dug. However, others argued against this haste, insisting that "Baba is not like others; Baba’s speech is infallible." Those pushing for burial retorted by pointing out that the body had turned cold and questioned how consciousness could possibly return, calling the others thoughtless.
