According to Chapter 12, how does the role of a saint differ from a typical divine incarnation?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 12

Chapter 12 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra explains a unique distinction between saints and divine incarnations. While a divine incarnation is described as existing for the protection of the virtuous and the destruction of the wicked, saints are portrayed as being even greater in a specific sense. The text highlights that saints treat the virtuous and the wicked as equals, without making distinctions of greatness or smallness. Their compassion is so profound that they first endeavor to set the wicked on the right path, their hearts overflowing with love for those in distress. This illustrates that a saint's primary mission is one of universal compassion and upliftment.
