Can you elaborate on the philosophical idea presented in Chapter 12 that saints are 'greater than God' and treat the 'virtuous and the wicked' as equal?

The philosophical concept presented in Chapter 12 is that saints operate from a state of non-duality. While God's incarnation is defined by the dualistic role of protecting the good and destroying the evil, saints transcend this. The text states their minds 'do not know who is great or who is small,' treating both equally. They are considered 'greater' because their hearts 'break into pieces with compassion,' and this overflowing love is directed first toward reforming the wicked. This chapter describes them as the 'Agastya for the ocean of worldly existence,' demonstrating their power to absorb and transform negativity.
