What were the different proposals for what to do with Sai Baba's physical body, and what was the final decision based on?

📖 Chapter 43

Following Sai Baba's Mahasamadhi, there was a significant deliberation among his disciples and the villagers for twenty-six hours regarding his sacred body. According to Chapter 43, several ideas were proposed. One group suggested that his body should be taken to the Muslim cemetery with a ceremony. Another faction, including Khushalchand and Amir Shakkar, proposed keeping the body in the open and building a beautiful tomb over it. However, the final decision was guided by Baba's own expressed wish. Patil Ramachandra, a village official, was very firm on this point, stating that Baba's own words were, "Let this body stay in the Wada," referring to the grand mansion built by the devout Butti.
