Chapter 44 of the Sai Satcharitra begins with invocations and a comparison between Gods and Saints, noting that while Gods like Rama and Krishna are beautiful, Saints are the form of bliss and melt even for their detractors. The chapter then details the events surrounding Sai Baba's passing. As described in Chapter 44, Baba knew His end was near and listened to the Ramayana for fourteen days. After His passing on Vijayadashami, a debate ensued for twenty-six hours between Hindus and Muslims regarding the final rites and the location of His Samadhi, as people were uncertain if it was death or a deep trance.
