As Sai Baba's health failed, his devotees, particularly Bapusaheb Buti, were filled with great anxiety. Buti was deeply troubled, wondering what would become of the mansion he had spent lakhs of rupees on, fearing it would be useless after Baba's passing. Chapter 39 reveals that this distress was resolved by Baba's final, decisive command. His last words concerning the structure were, "Place me in the mansion." These words, coming directly from Baba's own mouth, immediately made everyone's mind certain about the course of action. The command eliminated all doubt and regret, leading to the "great fortune" of the mansion. His holy body was placed in the inner sanctum, fulfilling his prophecy of staying there and transforming the building into the Samadhi Mandir.
