Chapter 12 of the Sai Satcharitra explains that saints are uniquely distinct from the traditional role of a divine incarnation. While an incarnation of God is described as being for the protection of the virtuous and the destruction of the wicked, saints view both the virtuous and the wicked as equal. As detailed in this chapter, their minds do not differentiate between who is great or small, and they treat everyone with the same compassion. Saints are even considered greater than God in this context because they first focus on setting the wicked on the right path, their hearts overflowing with love for the distressed. They are described metaphorically as the "sun for the darkness of ignorance," guiding all souls without distinction.
How does Chapter 12 describe the nature of saints, and how are they different from God's incarnation?
