What does this chapter say about the relationship between saints and those who are considered ignorant or attached to worldly desires?

Chapter 12 of the Sai Satcharitra explains that saints have great compassion for those who are ignorant of the spiritual supreme goal and are instead wallowing in the desire for wife, son, and wealth. The text states that a saint might even devote his life to such people, showing them pity. It is also mentioned that God affectionately caresses these ignorant and innocent ones. The chapter concludes this point by emphasizing that firm faith will eventually manifest in them and that this is more fruitful than the stiffness of dry knowledge.
