How does Chapter 12 of the Satcharitra describe the nature of a saint, and how is it different from God's role?

According to Chapter 12 of the Sai Satcharitra, the role of a saint is uniquely distinct from that of a divine incarnation. While an incarnation of God is for protecting the virtuous and destroying the wicked, saints view the virtuous and the wicked as equal. Their hearts are filled with compassion, and their primary impulse is to set the wicked on the right path rather than punish them. The text goes so far as to say saints are greater than God in this respect because they first try to reform wrongdoers. Saints like Sai Baba are described as having an enmity-free equality everywhere, treating all with the same love and compassion, which highlights their unique and merciful nature.
