What does Chapter 12 say about how saints interact with devotees who are ignorant or consumed by worldly desires?

Chapter 12 provides specific insight into how saints approach different followers. For those who are ignorant of the supreme spiritual goal (Paramartha) and are engrossed in desires for family and wealth, saints show immense compassion. The text states that God affectionately caresses such innocent ones, and a saint might even devote his life to them. The goal is to help them manifest firm faith, as the chapter notes that this is more valuable than the 'stiffness of dry knowledge,' which is considered fruitless. This demonstrates a saint's role in lovingly guiding even the most unaware individuals toward a spiritual path.
