While Chapter 36 of Shri Sai Satcharitra begins with salutations to deities like Lord Ganesha and mentions that Sai Baba 'attained Lord Vishnu (Chakrapani),' it does not explicitly compare the greatness of Sai Baba to them. The invocation to Ganesha is a traditional opening for a sacred text. The reference to attaining Vishnu highlights Sai Baba's spiritual realization. Chapter 36 describes Sai Baba's own greatness as infinite and beyond description, noting he 'can turn a beggar into a king in a moment' and is the 'incarnation of the knowledge of Truth.' The text focuses on describing Sai's own prowess and grace rather than creating a hierarchy or direct comparison with other deities.
Chapter 36 mentions both Lord Vishnu (Chakrapani) and Lord Ganesha. How does the text compare the greatness of Sai Baba to these deities?
