The text mentions confusion about whether Baba was dead or in a trance. Can you explain this based on past events described in the chapter?

Chapter 44 explains that the uncertainty surrounding Sai Baba's final passing was rooted in a previous event that occurred 32 years prior. In that instance, Baba drew his life force into the crown of his head and remained seemingly lifeless for three full days. This caused his followers to become doubtful, questioning whether it was a state of deep trance (Samadhi) or actual death. However, after three days, he suddenly returned to his body, dispelling everyone's anxiety. This memory is why, at the time of his final departure, his followers deliberated for twenty-six hours. The past experience made them hesitate and question whether his cessation of breath was permanent, leading to discussions about the final rites.
