Based on Chapter 4, why do people lose their way, and what is the role of a saint in guiding them back?

According to Chapter 4 of the Sai Satcharitra, people lose their way when they consider worldly things like wealth, status, and family as the only source of happiness and turn away from the ultimate spiritual goal, or Paramartha. They become obsessed with lust and hunger, lose their health and prosperity, and miss the chance for self-upliftment. It is in this environment of decaying religion that saints incarnate. Chapter 4 clarifies that a saint's role is to awaken religion, protect the humble, and guide devotees back to the path of truth, helping them transcend worldly attachments and fulfill their mission.
