Does Chapter 43 draw parallels between Sai Baba and other revered saints?

Yes, Chapter 43 explicitly connects Sai Baba to a lineage of great saints, suggesting they are manifestations of the same divine principle. The text asks rhetorically if Maharaj Gyanoba (Gyaneshwar) truly left, noting he gave darshan centuries later. It then states that just as Nath Maharaj was the light of Paithan, Tukaram Maharaj was in Dehu, Samarth Ramdas was in Parli, and the saint of Akkalkot was in Akkalkot, Sai is the same divine presence in Shirdi. This comparison serves to reinforce the idea that Sai's power and presence are eternal and unbroken, similar to these other revered figures.
