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

According to Chapter 12 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra, the incarnation of God is traditionally for the protection of the virtuous and the destruction of the wicked. However, the chapter explains that saints are uniquely distinct from this role. Saints view the virtuous and the wicked as equal, without making distinctions between great or small. Their hearts are filled with such compassion that they first focus on setting the wicked on the right path, which is why the text suggests saints are, in this respect, greater than God. Their love overflows for the distressed, and they treat everyone with equality.
