What was the immediate confusion and deliberation that occurred after Sai Baba left His body, according to Chapter 44?

As detailed in Chapter 44, a period of intense deliberation and confusion followed Sai Baba's passing. For twenty-six hours, both Hindu and Muslim devotees debated how to handle the final rites and where to plan the Samadhi, or tomb. This uncertainty was compounded by a past event, which the chapter references, where Baba had seemingly passed away 32 years prior. In that instance, He drew His life force into the crown of His head for three days, leading people to believe He was gone, only to return to His body. This memory caused everyone to doubt whether He was in a state of Samadhi (trance) or had actually died, making the decision about the final rites extremely difficult.
