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

According to Chapter 12 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra, there is a unique distinction between saints and divine incarnations. While an incarnation of God is described as existing for the protection of the virtuous and the destruction of the wicked, saints operate differently. The text states that to saints, the virtuous and the wicked are equal, and their minds do not differentiate between great and small. In fact, Chapter 12 goes on to say that saints are greater than God in this respect, as their overflowing compassion leads them to first set the wicked on the right path before all else.
