How did the building Bapusaheb Buti constructed, which was meant for a different purpose, end up becoming Sai Baba's Samadhi Mandir?

📖 Chapter 39

The Buti Wada was originally planned by Bapusaheb to be a temple for the deity Murlidhar, with an adjoining mansion. As Chapter 39 recounts, Sai Baba joyfully gave his permission, even stating, "After the temple is complete, we too shall come to stay there." When Baba fell gravely ill, Buti became distraught, believing the expensive structure would be useless. However, destiny unfolded differently. Baba's last words were, "Place me in the mansion." Following this final command, his holy body was placed in the inner sanctum, and the mansion was consecrated as the Samadhi Mandir, thus realizing its 'great fortune' in a way no one anticipated.
