How does this chapter describe the way saints interact with different types of people, such as the wicked, the ignorant, and their own devotees?

📖 Chapter 12

Chapter 12 explains that saints interact with all people through a lens of universal compassion and equality. For the wicked, unlike a divine incarnation who might destroy them, a saint works to set them on the right path, treating them as equal to the virtuous. For the ignorant, who are engrossed in worldly desires for family and wealth, a saint might devote his entire life to them to help cultivate firm faith. As chunk 2 notes, for their devotees, saints are drawn by love and will spend their accumulated merits, leaping over any obstacle to provide help. Sai Baba is presented as the ideal, maintaining an 'enmity-free equality everywhere' and treating both the pauper and the king as the same.
