Does the text compare Sai Baba's continued presence after his Mahasamadhi to any other saints?

Yes, Chapter 43 explicitly draws parallels between Sai Baba and other revered saints from the region to emphasize his eternal nature. To counter the idea that he is gone, the text asks rhetorically if Maharaj Gyaneshwar (Gyanoba) truly left, noting that he gave darshan three centuries after his samadhi. It then creates a lineage of eternal presence, mentioning Nath Maharaj of Paithan, Tukaram Maharaj of Dehu, Samarth Ramdas of Parli, and the Swami of Akkalkot, concluding that 'Sai is the same in Shirdi.' This comparison serves to assure devotees that, like these other great masters, Sai Baba's influence and presence remain unbroken and accessible despite the absence of his physical body.
