Chapter 4 explains that saints incarnate when people become fixated on worldly sources of happiness like wealth, status, and family, and turn away from the ultimate goal, or Paramartha. The method saints use to help is also described metaphorically in this chapter. They "fill the foundation of Renunciation (Nivritti) and build the temple of Ultimate Truth." Simultaneously, they work within the "frame of Worldly Activity (Pravritti)" to easily uplift devotees. This means they don't necessarily demand a complete rejection of the world, but rather use the structure of worldly life to awaken faith and guide people's consciousness back toward spiritual well-being and their ultimate mission.
Based on Chapter 4, how do saints like Sai Baba help people who are lost in worldly attachments?
