How does Chapter 12 of the Sai Satcharitra describe the nature of saints and compare them to God?

Chapter 12 presents a unique view, suggesting saints are in some ways distinct from and even 'greater than God.' While God's incarnation is for protecting the virtuous and destroying the wicked, saints are depicted as treating both the virtuous and the wicked as equals. The chapter explains that a saint's mind does not differentiate between great or small, and their hearts 'break into pieces with compassion' for the distressed. Their primary role is to first set the wicked on the right path. This impartiality and overwhelming compassion, where they see no friend or foe and treat a pauper and a king the same, is what makes saints uniquely distinct, as described in the teachings of this chapter.
