How does Chapter 44 compare Sai Baba to Hindu deities like Rama and Krishna?

Chapter 44 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra draws a profound connection between Sai Baba and deities such as Rama and Krishna, stating explicitly that there is no difference between them. The text posits, "Rama, Krishna, and Sai; there is no difference between the three." It further elaborates on the nature of saints versus gods, noting that while gods have beautiful forms, saints are the form of bliss itself. It also highlights a key distinction in compassion, saying that while God proclaims, "As they approach me, so I receive them," saints are said to "melt even for their detractors," emphasizing their boundless mercy as presented in this chapter.
