Before discussing the glory of Udi, what does the introduction of Chapter 33 say about the nature and greatness of saints?

The beginning of Chapter 33 sets a reverent tone by first paying homage to the assembly of saints. It describes their immense spiritual power, stating that their gracious glance can instantly burn mountains of sins to ashes and wash away the impurities of the modern age (Kali age). The chapter highlights their selfless nature, noting that saints have risen above worldly attachments and the dualistic thinking of "this is mine" and "this is another's." Furthermore, their kindness is portrayed as a debt that cannot be repaid even in many lifetimes, and even their casual speech is considered supremely eternal and joy-giving advice.
