How does Chapter 12 describe the relationship between saints like Sai and their devotees, particularly those who are ignorant of spiritual goals?

According to Chapter 12, saints have immense love for their devotees and will expend their own merits and overcome any obstacle for their sake. The chapter specifically addresses those who are ignorant of the supreme spiritual goal (Paramartha) and are engrossed in worldly desires for family and wealth. Instead of being condemned, these individuals are treated with affection and care. As the text notes, God 'affectionately caresses such ignorant and innocent ones' and a saint might even devote his life to them, believing that firm faith is what truly matters, not the 'stiffness of dry knowledge.'
