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

πŸ“– Chapter 12

According to Chapter 12 of the Sai Satcharitra, a key distinction is made between a divine incarnation and a saint. While the text states that an incarnation of God is for 'the protection of the virtuous and the complete destruction of the wicked,' it emphasizes that saints are 'uniquely distinct beyond even this.' The chapter clarifies that to saints, the virtuous and the wicked are treated as equals. Instead of destroying the wicked, saints first work to set them on the right path, as their hearts 'break into pieces with compassion, and love overflows for the distressed.' This compassionate approach to reformation is highlighted as a unique quality of saints like Sai.
