How is Sai Baba's presence in Shirdi compared to other great saints in India?

The text draws a direct parallel between Sai Baba's presence in Shirdi and that of other revered saints in their respective places. Chapter 43 mentions that just as Maharaj Gyanoba is associated with Alandi, Tukaram Maharaj with Dehu, Samarth Ramdas with Parli, and the one from Akkalkot with Akkalkot, Sai is the same in Shirdi. This comparison emphasizes that Sai Baba is part of a long lineage of powerful spiritual figures who remain influential and present for their devotees, demonstrating that his influence is proven and the feeling of his death is misplaced.
