How does the text compare Sai Baba to other saints, and what makes saints like him so extraordinary?

Chapter 4 draws comparisons between Sai Baba and other revered saints to illustrate his significance. He is likened to great figures like Saint Ramdas and is placed in the same context as Damaji in Mangalwedha and Narasimha Saraswati in Wadi, establishing his presence in Shirdi as a spiritual anchor. The text goes further by comparing saints to a philosopher's stone, which turns iron into gold. However, as Chapter 4 points out, saints are even more extraordinary because they do not just transform but give their own form, bestowing Self-realization upon their devotees. This ability to guide others to a state of oneness is what makes them truly remarkable.
