Chapter 12 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra explains that while a divine incarnation is for protecting the virtuous and destroying the wicked, saints are uniquely distinct. According to the text, saints perceive the virtuous and the wicked as equal, without making distinctions of greatness or smallness. Their hearts are filled with such compassion that they actively work to set the wicked on the right path, their love overflowing for those in distress. Sai Baba is presented as an example of such a saint, who incarnated for His devotees and maintained an "enmity-free equality everywhere." This chapter emphasizes that saints like Sai are greater than God in this specific aspect, as they prioritize the reformation of the wicked through compassion.
