Based on Chapter 4, what happens when people prioritize worldly attachments over their ultimate well-being, and what role do saints play in this situation?

Chapter 4 teaches that when people consider wealth, status, sons, and spouse as the only sources of happiness, they turn away from the ultimate spiritual goal, or Paramartha. This focus on worldly attachments leads to a decay of religion and causes people to lose their chance for ultimate well-being and self-upliftment. In this scenario, as Chapter 4 explains, saints incarnate to intervene. Their role is to reawaken religion, protect the system of castes and stages of life, and guide people back to the righteous path. They come to uplift the distressed who are lost in lust and hunger, offering them a path to salvation.
