The text describes an extraordinary event where Sai Baba seemed to control his own life force. Can you explain this incident and how it caused confusion after his final passing?

📖 Chapter 44

Chapter 44 recounts a remarkable past event that created doubt among his followers when he finally passed away. Decades prior to his Mahasamadhi, Baba had once drawn his life force up into the crown of his head, remaining in this state for three days. To onlookers, it appeared he had died, as all signs of breath had ceased. However, he suddenly returned to his body, dispelling everyone's anxiety. Because of this previous display of yogic power, when he actually passed away, his devotees were initially unsure whether it was a similar temporary trance (Samadhi) or his final departure. This led to a 26-hour period of deliberation between Hindus and Muslims on how to proceed with the final rites.
