Based on Chapter 4, what happens when humanity prioritizes worldly attachments over the 'ultimate goal,' and how do saints intervene?

Chapter 4 of the Sai Satcharitra explains that when people consider worldly possessions, status, sons, and spouses as the only source of happiness, they turn away from the thought of the ultimate goal, known as Paramartha. This obsession with lust and hunger causes them to lose their long life, health, and prosperity, completely missing the chance for self-upliftment. It is precisely at this time, as the chapter describes, that saints incarnate. They come to reawaken religion, protect the system of castes and stages of life, and guide humanity back towards the path of ultimate well-being.
