Chapter 43 draws a direct parallel between Sai Baba and other revered saints to illustrate his eternal nature. It asks rhetorically if Gyaneshwar (Gyanoba) Maharaj truly left, noting he gave darshan three centuries after his samadhi. The text places Sai Baba in this same lineage, stating that just as Nath Maharaj became the light of Paithan, Tukaram Maharaj in Dehu, and Samarth Ramdas in Parli, 'Sai is the same in Shirdi.' This comparison reinforces the idea that Baba, like these other powerful saints, did not truly die but simply transitioned, and his influence and presence continue to be felt by devotees based on the sincerity of their own feelings.
The text mentions that Sai Baba is not unique in his transcendent nature. How does it compare his continued existence to that of other great saints from Indian history?
