Chapter 12 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra draws a clear distinction between the two. While it states that the incarnation of God is for protecting the virtuous and destroying the wicked, it clarifies that saints are uniquely different. According to this chapter, saints treat both the virtuous and the wicked as equals, without any sense of who is great or small. Their compassion is so profound that their hearts break for the distressed, and they prioritize setting the wicked on the right path. The text even suggests that in this aspect of equitable compassion, saints are greater than God.
How does Chapter 12 distinguish between the role of a saint and the traditional role of God's incarnation?
