According to these passages, how did Sai Baba portray Shirdi in comparison to other famous pilgrimage sites?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 4

Sai Baba consistently presented Shirdi as a paramount holy place, negating the need for his devotees to travel elsewhere for spiritual fulfillment. As detailed in Chapter 4, when Das Ganu desired to bathe in the holy Prayag, Baba dissuaded him, saying, "No need to go so far. This itself is our Prayag; keep firm faith in your mind." To prove this, Baba miraculously manifested water from the Ganga and Yamuna from his own toes. In another instance, Baba assured Das Ganu that Shirdi itself is like "Dankapuri of Dakurnath, or Pandhari of Lord Vitthal; This itself is Dwarka City of Ranchhod." This demonstrates Baba's teaching that sincere devotion and faith in one's Guru can transform their immediate surroundings into the most sacred of pilgrimage sites.
