How does Chapter 12 differentiate between the role of a divine incarnation and the role of a saint like Sai Baba?

📖 Chapter 12

Chapter 12 draws a clear distinction between the purpose of a divine incarnation and the nature of a saint. The text states that the incarnation of God is traditionally for the protection of the virtuous and the "complete destruction of the wicked." However, it immediately clarifies that saints are "uniquely distinct beyond even this." The key difference highlighted in Chapter 12 is that saints treat the virtuous and the wicked as equals, without discriminating between them. Their hearts are filled with compassion, and they endeavor to set the wicked on the right path rather than destroy them. This chapter posits that saints are, in this sense, even greater than God because their love overflows for the distressed.
