Based on Chapter 4, what happens to society and individuals when they turn away from the ultimate spiritual goal, and how do saints respond?

Chapter 4 explains that when people turn away from the ultimate goal (Paramartha), they begin to see people, wealth, status, and family as the only sources of happiness. This leads to a loss of long life, health, and prosperity, and people wander about obsessed only with lust and hunger, completely missing the chance for self-upliftment. As religion decays, the chance for ultimate well-being is lost. In response to this spiritual crisis, as the chapter clarifies, saints incarnate. They come to protect the humble, destroy irreligion, and reawaken faith, guiding humanity back towards the path of spiritual well-being and ultimate truth.
