How does the text compare Shirdi to other holy sites to explain its spiritual importance?

The text elevates Shirdi's status by equating it with a comprehensive list of India's most sacred pilgrimage destinations. Chapter 4 explicitly states, "Shirdi is our Pandharpur, Shirdi is Jagannath and Dwarka. Shirdi is Gaya, Kashi, Vishweshwar, and Shirdi is also Rameshwar." The passage continues this comparison to include Badri-Kedar, Nasik-Trimbakeshwar, and others. This literary device serves to illustrate that for a follower of Sai Baba, a pilgrimage to Shirdi offers the cumulative spiritual merit of visiting all these other holy places, positioning Shirdi as a supreme and all-encompassing spiritual destination.
