Why does Chapter 43 compare Sai Baba to other famous saints like Gyaneshwar and Tukaram?

The comparison in Chapter 43 serves to place Sai Baba within the revered tradition of Indian saints who transcend physical death. By citing examples like Gyaneshwar giving darshan three centuries later, Nath Maharaj in Paithan, and Tukaram Maharaj in Dehu, the text illustrates that a saint's continued presence after leaving their body is a known spiritual phenomenon. Stating that 'Sai is the same in Shirdi' as these other figures reinforces the teaching that Baba is not gone. Instead, he remains an immortal, powerful, and active spiritual force who continues to protect his devotees, just as other great saints do from their respective holy places.
