How does the text place Sai Baba in the lineage of other great Indian saints?

Chapter 43 draws a direct parallel between Sai Baba and other revered saints to emphasize his eternal nature. It asks rhetorically if Maharaj Gyaneshwar (Gyanoba) truly left, noting he gave darshan three centuries after his samadhi. The text then explicitly states that just as Nath Maharaj was the light of Paithan, Tukaram Maharaj was in Dehu, and Samarth Ramdas was in Parli, "Sai is the same in Shirdi." This comparison serves to assure devotees that, like these other immortal saints, Baba's influence and presence are unbroken and he continues to be a protector for his followers.
