The text mentions that saints treat everyone equally. How does Chapter 12 elaborate on this theme of equality, particularly in relation to Sai Baba?

Chapter 12 of the Sai Satcharitra strongly emphasizes the theme of equality as a hallmark of saints. It begins by stating that saints see the virtuous and the wicked as equal, with no concept of who is great or small. This principle is then applied specifically to Sai Baba. The text asserts that He had "no feeling of friend or foe." It beautifully illustrates this by proclaiming that to Him, "the pauper and the king are the same." This idea is summarized in the phrase that He maintains an "enmity-free equality everywhere," showing that his grace and perception are not influenced by social status, wealth, or moral judgment.
