How does the text compare Sai Baba's legacy to that of other great saints in Maharashtra?

Chapter 43 draws a parallel between Sai Baba and other revered saints to emphasize the eternal nature of such enlightened beings. The purpose is to show that, like them, Sai Baba's influence did not end with his physical departure. The text asks rhetorically if Gyaneshwar Maharaj truly left, noting he gave darshan three centuries later. It then lists several saints who remain a living presence in their respective locations: Nath Maharaj in Paithan, Tukaram Maharaj in Dehu, Narasimha Saraswati in Alandi, Samarth Ramdas in Parli, the Swami of Akkalkot, and Prabhu Manik in Humnabad. By placing Sai Baba in this esteemed lineage, the text asserts that he is 'the same in Shirdi,' an unbroken and powerful presence who continues to interact with the world.
