How does Chapter 12 differentiate between the role of a saint and the role of God, and why are saints considered 'greater'?

Chapter 12 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra draws a distinct contrast between the roles of God and saints. It states that an incarnation of God is for the protection of the virtuous and the destruction of the wicked. However, saints are described as unique because they treat both the virtuous and the wicked as equals. The chapter explains that saints are considered 'greater than God' in this context because they first focus on setting the wicked on the right path. Their hearts are said to break with compassion and overflow with love for the distressed, making their primary function one of universal reformation rather than judgment, as detailed in Chapter 12.
