According to Chapter 12 of the Sai Satcharitra, while a typical incarnation of God is for protecting the virtuous and destroying the wicked, saints are distinct because they do not differentiate between the two. The text states that to saints, the virtuous and the wicked are equal. Their hearts overflow with compassion, and they first focus on setting the wicked on the right path. This is why they are considered 'greater than God' in this context. Sai Baba is presented as an example of such a saint, one to whom a friend or foe, a pauper or a king, are all the same. He possesses an 'enmity-free equality everywhere,' demonstrating that a saint's love and guidance are available to all, regardless of their station or past deeds.
Chapter 12 says saints are 'uniquely distinct' and even 'greater than God'. What does this mean, and how do they treat different kinds of people?
