How was Maharaj’s spiritual greatness recognized by other holy men, and what does this imply about his capacity to help people?

Maharaj's profound spiritual nature was independently recognized by other revered saints, confirming his immense stature. According to Chapter 0, when the saint Gangagir Baba first saw Maharaj carrying water, he immediately declared, 'This is purely a gem. His worth is very great.' Similarly, Anandnath Maharaj, a disciple from the famous lineage of the Swami of Akkalkot, spontaneously joined a cart to Shirdi just to see him. Upon arriving, he told the locals, 'This is a diamond. You don't know its true value.' This external validation from other advanced spiritual figures implies that Maharaj's ability to save and heal was rooted in a genuine and exceptionally high level of spiritual attainment, which they could perceive clearly.
