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

The comparison of Sai Baba to other revered saints like Gyaneshwar Maharaj, Tukaram Maharaj, and Samarth Ramdas in Chapter 43 serves to illustrate the timeless and eternal nature of enlightened masters. The text points out that these saints did not truly vanish after leaving their physical bodies; for instance, it's mentioned that Gyaneshwar gave darshan three centuries after his samadhi. By drawing this parallel, the author emphasizes that Sai Baba's existence in Shirdi is part of this same tradition of eternal presence. Just as those saints continue to be a spiritual force in their respective holy places like Alandi and Dehu, Sai Baba remains eternally present and powerful in Shirdi and beyond. This comparison reinforces the idea that Baba, having become one with Brahman, is a beginningless and endless protector who transcends physical death.
