How was the final resting place for Sai Baba's body decided upon?

The decision about where to place Sai Baba's physical body was the result of a lengthy, 26-hour deliberation among his disciples and the villagers. Chapter 43 recounts the different proposals that were debated. Some argued that his body should be taken to the Muslim cemetery for a ceremony. Others, including Khushalchand and Amir Shakkar, suggested building a beautiful tomb in an open area. However, the definitive factor was Baba's own words. Patil Ramachandra, a village official, was very firm in insisting they honor Baba's expressed wish: "Let this body stay in the Wada." This referred to the grand mansion that the devout Butti had built.
