According to the teachings in Chapter 23 of the Sai Satcharitra, the incarnations of saints occur on earth out of benevolence, specifically for the salvation of 'dull-witted souls.' This is described as an act of grace from the Almighty. The chapter further explains that a person's ability to engage with these sacred narratives is not a random occurrence. It states that only if one has accumulated merit, or 'Punya,' in store will a genuine desire arise in their heart to hear the stories of saints. The ultimate purpose of hearing these stories, as mentioned in this chapter, is to attain happiness and contentment, suggesting that spiritual inclination itself is a result of past good deeds.
Why do saints incarnate on earth, and what is required for a person to develop an interest in their stories, according to Chapter 23?
