The comparison of Sai Baba to other revered saints like Gyaneshwar, Nath Maharaj, Tukaram, and Samarth Ramdas serves to place him within a lineage of great spiritual masters who transcended physical death. Chapter 43 points out that just as Gyaneshwar gave darshan centuries after his samadhi, and just as Tukaram was a spiritual light in Dehu, Sai Baba is the same divine presence in Shirdi. This comparison reinforces the idea that saints are not bound by their physical bodies or a single lifetime. It illustrates a recurring spiritual phenomenon where powerful beings incarnate in different places to guide humanity, and their influence continues long after they have left their physical forms, proving that Sai, too, is beyond death.
