According to the teachings in Chapter 23, the incarnations of saints occur on Earth out of benevolence, specifically for the salvation of "dull-witted souls." This is described as a grace of the Almighty. The chapter further explains that a person's desire to hear the stories of saints, which leads to happiness and contentment, does not arise randomly. It is a result of having merit (Punya) in store from past actions. This accumulated merit is what creates the inclination in one's heart to seek out the wisdom and blessings of holy figures.
