Chapter 12 of the Sai Satcharitra explains that while divine incarnations are for protecting the virtuous and destroying the wicked, saints are uniquely distinct. The text states that saints view the virtuous and the wicked as equal, without making distinctions of greatness or smallness. In fact, the chapter posits that saints are even greater than God because their immense compassion leads them to first try and set the wicked on the right path. As described in Chapter 12, their hearts overflow with love for the distressed. Sai Baba is presented as such a saint, an embodiment of knowledge who holds affection for every living being while remaining detached, treating everyone with an enmity-free equality.
