Was there any confusion or debate among the devotees after Sai Baba passed away?

Yes, Chapter 44 details a significant period of confusion and deliberation following Baba's passing. For twenty-six hours, his Hindu and Muslim devotees debated how to perform the final rites and where to establish his Samadhi (tomb). This uncertainty was fueled by a past incident from 32 years prior, where Baba had seemingly left his body for three days, leading people to believe he had died, only to return. This memory caused everyone to become doubtful, questioning whether his final passing was truly death or another profound state of Samadhi (trance).
