The text compares Sai Baba to other saints like Gyaneshwar Maharaj and Tukaram Maharaj. What's the point of this comparison?

The comparison in Chapter 43 to great saints like Gyaneshwar Maharaj of Alandi, Samarth Ramdas of Parli, and Tukaram Maharaj of Dehu serves to illustrate the eternal nature of enlightened beings. It highlights a known tradition where saints continue to be active and grant experiences to devotees long after their physical bodies are gone. For example, it mentions that Gyaneshwar gave darshan three centuries after his samadhi. By placing Sai Baba in this lineage, the text asserts that he is not gone but remains a powerful, active presence in Shirdi, just as those saints do in their respective holy places. This proves his continuing influence and establishes him as a "powerful one of miraculous avatars."
