Chapter 12 of the Sai Satcharitra explains a unique distinction between saints and the typical purpose of a divine incarnation. While it states that God's incarnation is for protecting the virtuous and destroying the wicked, saints are described as operating differently. The text highlights that to a saint, the virtuous and the wicked are equal, and they treat both without distinction. In fact, this chapter suggests saints are greater in the sense that they first attempt to set the wicked on the right path, their hearts overflowing with compassion for the distressed. This shows their primary focus is on reformation and universal love rather than just reward and punishment.
According to Chapter 12, how does the role of a saint like Sai Baba differ from the traditional purpose of a divine incarnation?
