Chapter 43 draws a direct parallel between Sai Baba and other revered saints of Maharashtra to emphasize his eternal and universal nature. The text poses rhetorical questions, noting how Gyaneshwar gave darshan centuries after his samadhi and how saints like Tukaram Maharaj in Dehu, Samarth Ramdas in Parli, and Narasimha Saraswati in Alandi are eternally associated with those places. It then asserts that Sai is the same divine presence in Shirdi. As Chapter 43 explains, these saints are manifestations of the same divine principle, appearing in different forms and places for the welfare of the world, and Sai Baba's role in Shirdi is part of this sacred tradition of powerful, miraculous avatars.
The text mentions other saints like Gyaneshwar and Tukaram. How does it connect Sai Baba's presence in Shirdi to these other great figures?
