According to Chapter 12 of the Sai Satcharitra, what are the defining characteristics of saints?

📖 Chapter 12

Chapter 12 of the Sai Satcharitra describes saints as beings who treat the virtuous and the wicked as equals, with minds that do not differentiate between great and small. Their hearts are said to break into pieces with compassion, and love overflows from them for the distressed. This chapter posits that saints are greater than God in the sense that they first focus on setting the wicked on the right path. They are likened to the sage Agastya for the ocean of worldly existence and the sun for the darkness of ignorance. Ultimately, the text states they are inseparable from the Supreme Soul and, like Sai, have incarnated for the sake of their devotees.
