Chapter 43 draws parallels between Sai Baba and other revered saints to illustrate his eternal and unbroken nature. It asks rhetorically if Maharaj Gyaneshwar truly left, noting he gave darshan after three centuries. Just as that compassionate Nath became the light of Paithan, Tukaram Maharaj in Dehu, Narasimha Saraswati in Alandi, and Samarth Ramdas in Parli, Sai Baba is the same eternal presence in Shirdi. This comparison emphasizes that, like these other great souls, Sai Baba has not disappeared but remains a powerful, miraculous avatar who has become one with Brahman. His influence continues to be felt by devotees according to the feeling in their own minds.
How does Chapter 43 compare Sai Baba to other great saints, and what does this comparison reveal about his nature?
