Sai Baba's words played a crucial role in the destiny of the Buti Wada. When presented with the plan to install a Murlidhar idol, Baba not only gave permission but made prophetic statements. According to Chapter 39, He joyfully said, "After the temple is complete, we too shall come to stay there" and "After the mansion is finished, we will use it for ourselves." At the time, these words were likely interpreted as him planning to visit and enjoy the space. However, their deeper meaning became clear as his time drew near. His final, explicit instruction was, "Place me in the mansion." This command resolved all uncertainty and, as Chapter 39 recounts, his holy body was placed in the inner sanctum, fulfilling his words and turning the mansion into the Samadhi Mandir.
How did Sai Baba's own words foreshadow and ultimately direct the use of the Buti Wada as his final resting place?
