Why does Chapter 43 compare Sai Baba to other saints like Gyaneshwar and Tukaram in the context of his passing?

The comparison in Chapter 43 to other revered saints like Gyaneshwar Maharaj, Tukaram Maharaj, and Samarth Ramdas serves to reinforce the concept of a saint's eternal spiritual presence. The text specifically mentions how Gyaneshwar gave darshan three centuries after his samadhi, an event witnessed by Nath Maharaj. By placing Sai Baba in this lineage of great beings who transcended physical death, the author argues that just as those saints continue to be a spiritual force in places like Alandi, Dehu, and Parli, 'Sai is the same in Shirdi.' This comparison is used as proof that Baba's influence is unbroken and that he, too, remains eternally present and powerful.
