The scriptures compare Sai Baba to other great saints. How does this comparison serve to alleviate the fear of loss among devotees?

By drawing parallels to other revered figures, the text reinforces the idea that saints are not bound by physical death. Chapter 43 asks rhetorically if Maharaj Gyaneshwar truly left, noting he gave darshan three centuries after his supposed passing. By placing Sai Baba in the same category as Nath Maharaj, Tukaram Maharaj, and Samarth Ramdas, the scripture establishes a pattern of saints transcending their physical forms. This shows devotees that Sai in Shirdi is part of a lineage of eternal beings. It proves that his influence continues and that he remains unbroken and accessible, just like the other saints, thereby dispelling the fear that he is gone forever.
