What are the primary events and philosophical points discussed in Chapter 44 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra?

Chapter 44 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra begins with invocations to various deities and to Sai Baba himself, describing him as the embodiment of consciousness whose grace destroys poverty. The chapter philosophically equates Sai with Rama and Krishna, stating there is no difference between them, and contrasts the nature of Gods with Saints, noting a Saint 'melts even for their detractors.' The central event detailed is Baba's passing, known as Mahasamadhi. As cited in Chapter 44, Baba knew his end was near and listened to the Ramayana for fourteen days straight. On Vijayadashami, after two weeks of this contemplation, he passed away. The chapter then describes the immediate aftermath, including the 26-hour deliberation between Hindus and Muslims about the final rites and the location of his Samadhi, a confusion partly fueled by a past incident where Baba had seemingly died for three days before returning to his body.
