How does Chapter 12 describe the nature of saints and contrast them with God?

πŸ“– Chapter 12

Chapter 12 of the Sai Satcharitra explains that saints are uniquely distinct from, and in some ways greater than, God. While God's incarnation is for protecting the virtuous and destroying the wicked, saints treat both the virtuous and the wicked as equals. The chapter states that a saint's heart breaks with compassion for the distressed, and they actively work to set even the wicked on the right path. They are described as the "Agastya for the ocean of worldly existence" and the "sun for the darkness of ignorance." Thus, saints are portrayed as having an all-encompassing compassion that does not differentiate between good and evil individuals, unlike the more defined purpose of a divine incarnation.
