What does Chapter 12 say about the relationship between saints and their devotees, particularly regarding the use of spiritual merit?

Chapter 12 of the Sai Satcharitra beautifully illustrates the profound love between saints and their followers. It states that saints are willing to 'spend their millions of merits drawn by the love of their devotees.' This implies that a saint's spiritual accomplishments are not hoarded but are readily used for the benefit and welfare of those who have faith in them. The text reinforces this by stating that for the sake of a devotee, saints do not see mountains or cliffs as obstacles and will 'leap forward' to help, demonstrating an unconditional and powerful bond of love and protection.
