Chapter 43 powerfully illustrates Sai Baba's timeless existence by drawing parallels with other revered saints from Maharashtra. The text mentions that Maharaj Gyaneshwar (Gyanoba) gave darshan three centuries after his samadhi, proving that such saints do not truly leave. It then explicitly states that just as Nath Maharaj was the light of Paithan, Tukaram Maharaj of Dehu, Samarth Ramdas of Parli, and the Swami of Akkalkot, 'Sai is the same in Shirdi.' This comparison reinforces the teaching that, like these other immortal figures, Sai Baba's presence and influence are not limited by physical death and he remains an active, powerful force for his devotees.
How does the text compare Sai Baba's eternal nature to that of other great Maharashtrian saints?
