Chapter 12 presents a unique perspective, suggesting that saints are distinct from and even "greater than God" in certain aspects. While the text notes that an incarnation of God is for protecting the virtuous and destroying the wicked, a saint's compassion extends equally to all. As described in this chapter, saints view the virtuous and the wicked as equals, with their hearts overflowing with love for the distressed. The chapter states they first work to set the wicked on the right path, highlighting their immense compassion. This unique quality, treating everyone as equal without distinction of great or small, is what makes saints like Sai Baba so special, according to the teachings in Chapter 12.
