If Sai Baba is omnipresent and one with Brahman, what is the significance of Shirdi and his comparison to other localized saints?

Chapter 43 explains this seeming paradox by presenting two truths. While Sai Baba, in his true form, fills the 'moving and non-moving world' as the endless Brahman, his manifestation in Shirdi served a specific purpose for devotees. The text draws parallels to other great saints like Gyaneshwar in Alandi and Samarth Ramdas in Parli to illustrate that divine power often anchors itself to a specific location for the welfare of followers. After leaving his physical body, Maharaj became one with Brahman, making his presence universal. Shirdi remains a powerful focal point, but his influence is no longer confined there, and devotees can have experiences with him anywhere, based on their own feelings.
