The text compares Sai Baba to other saints. How does this comparison help explain his eternal nature?

Chapter 43 draws parallels between Sai Baba and other revered saints to illustrate that his presence is unbroken and not confined to a physical form. The text explicitly asks if Gyaneshwar Maharaj, who gave darshan three centuries after his samadhi, truly left. It mentions other great souls like Tukaram Maharaj in Dehu and Samarth Ramdas in Parli. Just as these saints remain spiritually potent in their respective places, 'Sai is the same in Shirdi.' This comparison reinforces the idea that saints incarnate for the welfare of people and, when their task is done, they merge back into their true, unmanifest form without truly 'dying.' This establishes a pattern of spiritual continuity, assuring devotees that Sai, too, remains accessible and powerful.
