What does Chapter 42 say about the people of Shirdi and what does the chapter promise to describe about Sai's nature?

Chapter 42 of the Sai Satcharitra explicitly states that the people of Shirdi were 'Blessed, blessed' to have enjoyed the happiness of Sai Baba's company for over half a century, describing that period as 'extremely joyful.' In addition to honoring the residents of Shirdi, the chapter sets a clear agenda for its own content. As mentioned in Chapter 42, the author intends to describe Sai's nature, posing the question of whether his mind was 'intense or soft.' It also promises to give a detailed and attentive account of the significant event of Baba leaving his physical body.
