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

According to Chapter 12 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra, there is a unique distinction between a saint and a divine incarnation. The chapter explains that an incarnation of God is for the protection of the virtuous and the complete destruction of the wicked. However, saints are described as being distinct beyond this. The text states that to saints, the virtuous and the wicked are equal, and they do not differentiate between who is great or small. In fact, it is mentioned that saints are even greater than God in this respect, as they first work to set the wicked on the right path, their hearts breaking with compassion and overflowing with love for the distressed.
