Why does the text compare Sai Baba to other saints like Gyaneshwar and Tukaram Maharaj?

The text compares Sai Baba to other great saints to illustrate a key spiritual principle: that the divine essence of a true Master is eternal and does not disappear with the physical body. Chapter 43 mentions how Gyaneshwar (Gyanoba) gave darshan centuries after his samadhi, and how other saints like Nath Maharaj, Tukaram Maharaj, Narasimha Saraswati, and Samarth Ramdas remain spiritually potent in their respective places. By placing Sai Baba in this lineage, the text emphasizes that he is of the same timeless, unbroken spiritual reality. This comparison, as detailed in Chapter 43, serves to reassure devotees that Sai Baba's influence and presence continue unabated, just like these other revered figures, and that 'in his true form, he fills the moving and non-moving world.'
