According to the Shri Sai Satcharitra, what are the societal conditions that signal the need for a saint's incarnation?

📖 Chapter 4

Chapter 4 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra details the specific circumstances that necessitate the advent of a saint. These include times when religious decay is rampant, such as when Brahmins despise their own caste and Shudras attempt to become Brahmins. Other signs are when religious teachers are insulted, people ignore religious teachings, and sectarian hatred grows. The text also mentions a decline in moral conduct, with Brahmins openly consuming liquor and meat, and a general loss of respect among people. When people become obsessed with worldly gains like wealth and status and turn away from the ultimate spiritual goal, that is the time for a saint's incarnation to awaken religion.
