According to Chapter 23, the incarnations of saints on earth are an act of pure benevolence, occurring for the salvation of 'dull-witted souls' as a form of grace from the Almighty. The text suggests that even having the desire to hear their stories is a sign of accumulated spiritual merit (Punya). Importantly, this chapter advises against judging a saint by external or worldly standards. It explicitly states that one cannot understand a saint's true state by observing their caste, behavior, or what they eat, because their essential nature is always beyond such superficial things.
