What is the deeper meaning behind why saints appear on Earth and how we should perceive them, based on Chapter 23?

Chapter 23 of the Sai Satcharitra offers profound insights into the nature of saints. It teaches that one cannot understand a saint's true state by external observations like their caste, behavior, or what they eat, as their reality is always beyond such things. The chapter explains that the incarnations of saints occur on earth out of pure benevolence, as a grace of the Almighty, specifically for the salvation of "dull-witted souls." Furthermore, it is stated in Chapter 23 that a person must have accumulated merit (Punya) to even develop the desire in their heart to hear the stories of saints, which is the path to attaining happiness and contentment.
