The text compares Sai Baba to other saints like Gyaneshwar Maharaj. What is the significance of this parallel?

Drawing a parallel between Sai Baba and other great saints like Gyaneshwar Maharaj serves to place his Mahasamadhi within a recognized spiritual tradition. Chapter 43 highlights that Gyaneshwar gave darshan three centuries after his passing, proving that physical death is not a barrier for such beings. By mentioning Tukaram Maharaj, Samarth Ramdas, and others, the text establishes a pattern: great saints do not truly die but transition to a different state of being from which they continue to help the world. This comparison reinforces the idea that Sai Baba's departure from his body was not an end but a transformation, and like those saints, he remains eternally present and active for the sake of his devotees.
