The text mentions other saints like Gyaneshwar and Tukaram. What is the purpose of comparing them to Sai Baba?

Chapter 43 draws a direct parallel between Sai Baba and other revered saints like Gyaneshwar, Tukaram, and Narasimha Saraswati to contextualize his eternal nature. The text points out that Maharaj Gyanoba gave darshan centuries after leaving his body, thereby establishing a precedent for saints transcending physical death. By stating, "Sai is the same in Shirdi" as these other saints are in their respective holy places, the scripture places Sai Baba within a recognized lineage of immortal masters. As Chapter 43 illustrates, this comparison serves to reinforce the argument that Sai's presence and influence did not end with his body but continue unbroken, just like the great saints before him.
