How does the Shri Sai Satcharitra characterize the nature of saints in comparison to God?

According to Chapter 12 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra, saints are described as uniquely distinct from God. While God's incarnation is for protecting the virtuous and destroying the wicked, saints treat both the virtuous and the wicked as equals. The text even suggests that saints are greater than God because they first focus on setting the wicked on the right path, their hearts overflowing with compassion for the distressed. They are likened to the sun for the darkness of ignorance and are considered inseparable from the Supreme Soul, with my Sai being a prime example of such a compassionate incarnation.
