Based on the text, describe how the actions of a Saint, such as weeping for a brick or entering a samadhi, are explained as being for the benefit of the people.

📖 Chapter 44

Chapter 44 explains that the primary reason for the incarnation of Saints is the upliftment of the world and salvation for the poor and wretched. Their worldly actions are a form of drama to teach humanity. For instance, Baba weeping for his broken brick is presented not as genuine attachment, but as a performance to show how the great conduct themselves. Similarly, the 1886 trance is described as an event where Sai "tricked the people" by appearing lifeless. The text states that even though a Saint is fully enlightened, they remain engaged in performing actions to save the people, and these seemingly ordinary or dramatic events serve that higher purpose.
