According to Chapter 4 of the Sai Satcharitra, what societal conditions necessitate the incarnation of a saint?

📖 Chapter 4

Chapter 4 of the Sai Satcharitra details a specific climate of moral and religious decay that precedes a saint's incarnation. These conditions include Brahmins despising their own caste, religious teachers being insulted, and a general disregard for religious teachings. The text also mentions a state where people compete with one another without respect, ignore proper conduct and thought, and even Brahmins openly consume liquor and meat. As described in Chapter 4, when sectarian hatred grows, rituals become tiresome, and people turn away from the ultimate spiritual goal to focus only on worldly happiness, the time becomes ripe for a saint to descend and awaken religion.
