According to Chapter 12, why are saints sometimes considered 'greater than God' and what is their attitude towards devotees?

Chapter 12 makes the profound statement that saints are greater than God because of their unique compassion. While a divine incarnation's role includes destroying the wicked, saints see the virtuous and wicked as equal and first strive to set the wicked on the right path. As the text explains, their hearts 'break into pieces with compassion.' This chapter further elaborates on their relationship with devotees, stating that saints spend their millions of merits, drawn by the love of their followers. They see no obstacles as too great and will 'leap forward for the sake of the devotee,' demonstrating an unwavering commitment.
