Chapter 12 of the Sai Satcharitra draws a clear distinction between the purpose of a divine incarnation and the role of a saint. While an incarnation of God is described as being for 'the protection of the virtuous and the complete destruction of the wicked,' saints operate from a different plane of compassion. The text suggests saints are 'greater than God' because they do not make this distinction between good and evil. Instead, as Chapter 12 details, they see the virtuous and the wicked as equal. A saint's heart 'break[s] into pieces with compassion,' and they lovingly guide even the wicked onto the right path, rather than destroying them.
Chapter 12 contrasts the incarnation of God with the role of a saint. Can you elaborate on this distinction and explain why saints are considered 'greater than God' in this context?
