How does Chapter 43 build upon the events of the previous chapter concerning Sai Baba's Mahasamadhi?

Chapter 43 explicitly functions as a direct continuation of the previous chapter. The author begins by stating his intent to complete the description of Sai's passing that was left incomplete. To ensure continuity, Chapter 43 provides a concise review of the prior narrative, mentioning the explanation for the departure on Vijayadashami, the prediction made through Tatya Ba, and the donation to Lakshmi. It then moves the explanation forward by introducing the new topics for the current chapter, which include Sai listening to the Ramayana, the planning for his tomb, and the incident of the 'fall of the brick'. This structured approach bridges the two chapters, providing a more detailed and complete account of the final days.
