Does the text draw parallels between Sai Baba's continued presence and that of other revered saints?

Yes, Chapter 43 explicitly compares Sai Baba's enduring presence to that of other great saints. It poses the question, "Did Maharaj Gyanoba (Gyaneshwar) leave?" noting that he gave darshan three centuries after his samadhi. The text then lists several saints who remain powerful spiritual presences in their respective towns: Nath Maharaj in Paithan, Tukaram Maharaj in Dehu, Narasimha Saraswati in Alandi, and Samarth Ramdas in Parli. By placing Sai Baba in this esteemed lineage, the chapter asserts that just as these saints continue to bless the world from their holy places, "Sai is the same in Shirdi," and his influence is proven to continue even today.
