Several revered saints recognized Sai Baba's extraordinary spiritual stature. Chapter 0 recounts that when Gangagir Baba first saw Maharaj carrying water pots, he immediately proclaimed to the villagers, 'This is purely a gem. His worth is very great. The village is very lucky that you got this gem.' Similarly, Anandnath Maharaj of Akkalkot, a disciple of the famous Swami of Akkalkot, made comparable remarks. Upon his arrival in Shirdi, he told the local devotees, 'This is a diamond. You don't know its true value.' Both these accounts from Chapter 0 highlight that other advanced spiritual figures perceived Maharaj's immense worth long before it was widely understood.
