Did Sai Baba ever demonstrate yogic powers over his own life and death?

Yes, Chapter 44 describes an extraordinary event that demonstrates his profound control over his own life force, a feat associated with advanced yogic states. It refers to an incident where Baba once drew his life force entirely into the crown of his head, a state which made him appear dead for three continuous days. This caused great confusion among his followers, who became doubtful whether it was Samadhi (a deep meditative trance) or actual death. Just as they began to discuss final rites, he suddenly returned to his body, dispelling their anxiety. This event showcases his authority over life and death, far beyond ordinary human capacity.
