What is the connection between the decay of religion described in the first half of Chapter 4 and the description of Sai as the Supreme God in the latter half?

πŸ“– Chapter 4

Chapter 4 of the Sai Satcharitra establishes a direct cause-and-effect relationship between societal decay and divine intervention. The first part of the chapter meticulously lists the signs of a world where religion has decayed: social roles are abandoned, teachers are insulted, and people are lost to worldly desires. It is precisely because of this widespread chaos and loss of spiritual direction that a saint must incarnate. The second half of the chapter then presents the solution: the saint, specifically Sai, who is not merely a teacher but the Supreme Divinity Himself. As Chapter 4 explains, when people lose their way, God descends in the form of a Guru like Sai to protect the righteous, destroy irreligion, and reawaken faith, thus restoring the divine order.
