The text mentions other saints like Gyaneshwar and Tukaram. What is the connection being made between them and Sai Baba?

In Chapter 43, a direct parallel is drawn between Sai Baba and other revered saints of India to illustrate the timeless and ever-present nature of such great souls. The text cites examples like Gyaneshwar Maharaj in Alandi, Nath Maharaj in Paithan, Tukaram Maharaj in Dehu, and Samarth Ramdas in Parli. By stating, 'Sai is the same in Shirdi,' the author emphasizes that Sai Baba belongs to this same lineage of powerful, compassionate masters. The point is that these saints do not truly 'die' or 'leave' but continue to guide and protect their devotees from their respective holy places, transcending the limitations of physical death. This comparison serves to reinforce the idea of Baba's continued existence and influence.
