How does the text compare Sai Baba to other great saints of Maharashtra?

Chapter 43 places Sai Baba within a revered lineage of saints to illustrate his continuous, timeless presence. It explicitly draws parallels by asking rhetorically if other saints truly left, citing how Gyaneshwar Maharaj gave darshan three centuries after his samadhi. The text then lists several great saints and their associated holy places: 'Nath Maharaj...in Paithan; Tukaram Maharaj in Dehu; Narasimha Saraswati in Alandi. Samarth Ramdas in Parli; the one from Akkalkot in Akkalkot; Prabhu Manik in Humnabad.' It concludes this comparison by stating decisively that 'Sai is the same in Shirdi,' positioning him as an equivalent spiritual powerhouse whose influence and presence endure beyond physical death.
